Quick Glance: Colombia Expels Argentine Diplomats Following Controversial Remarks by Milei About Petro
- In response to Argentine President Javier Milei labeling Colombian President Gustavo Petro as a 'terrorist,' 'murderer,' and 'communist' in an interview with CNN, Colombia ordered the expulsion of Argentine diplomats from their embassy in the Andean nation.
- According to Colombia's foreign ministry, the Argentine president's comments have undermined Colombia's trust and offended the dignity of President Petro, who was democratically elected.
- Following Milei's provocative comments, Colombia recalled its ambassador to Argentina earlier this year. Petro, who is Colombia's first leftist president, has a background as a former member of the long-demobilized M-19 guerrilla movement.
- In addition to his criticism of Petro, the Libertarian Milei also targeted other regional leaders in excerpts of the interview, including Mexico's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Quick Glance: Colombia expels Argentinian diplomats over Milei's attack on Petro
- Colombia has ordered the expulsion of Argentinian diplomats after Argentinian President Javier Milei referred to his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro as a 'terrorist', 'murderer', and 'communist'.
- Milei targeted Petro in an interview with CNN and also criticized other regional leaders, including Mexico's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
- Relations between Colombia and Argentina have deteriorated since Milei's election last November, where he promised radical actions like abolishing the central bank and significant public spending cuts.
- Milei, likened to former US President Donald Trump for his abrasive style, has taken conservative stances on social issues, opposing abortion and sex education, while condemning political correctness.
