“Colombia can sleep soundly.”

"I cannot see the president actually – despite what he said – extending strikes into Colombia or to Cuba."

"It is unlikely the White House would take unilateral action given their historic cooperation with Colombian security forces."

"I don't believe that there will actually be a military strike or military intervention in Colombia. But the US is, of course, already exerting influence."

"But with elections coming up in Colombia in a few months' time, it's hardly worth it for the administration to attempt to remove Petro from power."

"I don't think the fact that Colombia is a long-standing ally of the United States is necessarily going to insulate it from potential action from the Trump administration, because I don't think that that's something that he considers to be a deal breaker."

“[Peto] sees Trump and his threats no longer as empty, but as real possibilities.”

“All nations of the region must remain alert, as the threat hangs over all.”

"The US is baring its teeth at Colombia."

"[Gustavo Petro's] not going to be doing it very long."

Will the U.S. Intervene in Colombia?

Bolivia's government asked Colombian Ambassador Elizabeth García to end her diplomatic mission on May 20, citing repeated public comments by Colombian President Gustavo Petro about Bolivia's internal crisis as interference in the country's sovereign affairs.

Petro described Bolivia's unrest as "a popular insurrection" in an May 17 post on X, and offered his government's mediation to help find a peaceful resolution to the political crisis. Bolivia's foreign ministry had previously called any such intervention "improcedente" — improper.

Bolivia's foreign ministry stated the expulsion of García was carried out under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and did not constitute a break in diplomatic ties, with both countries' historical bonds of friendship and cooperation described as unaffected.

Protests led by the Central Obrera Boliviana and campesino groups have continued for three weeks, initially demanding a 20% wage increase before shifting to calls for President Rodrigo Paz's resignation. Road blockades caused shortages of food, fuel and medical oxygen in La Paz.

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales, who faces an arrest warrant for alleged trafficking of a minor and was declared in contempt after failing to appear at trial, is sheltering in the Chapare coca-growing region. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau described the unrest as "a coup d'état in progress."
