Protester clashes following Petro's call to mobilize against Trump's military threat
Mass protests in Colombia turn confrontational after President Gustavo Petro calls citizens to the streets in response to Donald Trump's public suggestion of military action against Colombia.
After former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly raises the possibility of military intervention in Colombia, President Gustavo Petro issues a public appeal urging Colombians to take to the streets to defend national sovereignty. The mobilization leads to large‑scale protests in major cities, including Bogotá, where demonstrators clash with security forces. The Foreign Ministry files a formal diplomatic protest in Washington, calling Trump's remarks undue interference in Colombia's internal affairs. The heightened tensions between the U.S. and Colombia raise fears that inflammatory rhetoric and mass protests could escalate into broader civil unrest or violence.
