The Communist Party of Chile has a history involving violent insurgency and past Soviet ties. They also dined at venues adorned with communist revolutionary imagery. Similar meetings occurred in Brazil, where they met with advisers to President Lula da silva and discussed cooperation with communist-aligned parties. In Colombia, the delegation met members of the &#8220;Historic Pact,&#8221; a coalition that includes communist and socialist parties supportive of President Gustavo Petro.<\/p>\n<p>This trip was co-funded by the Foundation to Promote Open Society and the Center for Economic and Policy Research, reflecting efforts by liberal organizations to influence congressional perspectives on US-Latin america relations.
