“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 Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday that Colombia's ambassador, Elizabeth García, has been asked to leave the country due to alleged interference in internal affairs, noting that this doesn't represent a break in diplomatic ties.

Bolivia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday that Colombia's ambassador, Elizabeth García, has been asked to leave the country due to alleged interference in internal affairs, noting that this doesn't represent a break in diplomatic ties.

Bolivia's top diplomat Fernando Aramayo said that García has been declared persona non grata over what he deemed repeated ill-founded statements from Colombian President Gustavo Petro about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://verity.news/story/2026/bolivia-protests-spark-clashes-regional-concern">the situation on the ground in Bolivia</a>.

Bolivia's top diplomat Fernando Aramayo said that García has been declared persona non grata over what he deemed repeated ill-founded statements from Colombian President Gustavo Petro about the situation on the ground in Bolivia.

This comes as Petro has described the social unrest in Bolivia as a "popular insurrection" in response to "geopolitical arrogance," taking to social media to offer his government to mediate the crisis while talking about political prisoners and calling for the U.S. not to attack former Bolivian President Evo Morales.

Anti-government protests have been rocking Bolivia for three weeks over a wide range of grievances, including calls for the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz after six months in office. Road blockades have caused shortages of key supplies in the country's administrative capital, La Paz.

Clashes between security forces and demonstrators across the country, including near the government headquarters in La Paz, have left about a dozen officers injured and resulted in at least 127 arrests.

A government spokesman said that Morales is fueling protests as Bolivia's leftist leader currently faces a new arrest warrant after failing to appear in court for his trial on human trafficking charges related to an alleged relationship with a 15-year-old girl while he was in office.

Petro's meddling in Bolivia's internal affairs cost Colombia a seat at the diplomatic table. By cheering on protests and labeling them an "insurrección popular," Petro handed Bolivia every reason to boot Colombia's ambassador. Taking sides in a foreign crisis doesn't make Colombia a peacemaker — it makes Colombia part of the problem.

Bolivia expelled Colombia's ambassador while staying silent about U.S., Israeli and Argentine diplomats who back the crackdown on Bolivian protesters. That selective outrage exposes the Paz government's double standard — "injerencia" only counts when it comes from the left. Petro was right to call out a government that's killing its own people in the streets.
