aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/28/colombia-expels-argentinas-diplomats-after-milei-calls-petro-terrorist
Colombia expels Argentina’s diplomats after Milei calls Petro ‘terrorist’
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.
