A leaked report reveals Venezuelan territory was used by ELN rebels before a deadly attack in Colombia, escalating tensions between the countries

Bogotá insinuates that Caracas provides cover for the ELN guerrillas and Chavismo responds by accusing the Colombian authorities of sheltering members of Tren de Aragua

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla, has recently made headlines for his outspoken stance against U.S. policies, particularly in a public spat with President Donald Trump.

With Donald Trump in the White House and Marco Rubio in the State Department, the days of coddling our anti-American Marxist neighbors are over.

The Colombian border village of Tres Bocas has become a ghost town as residents flee to neighboring Venezuela to escape a new wave of violence that has left at least 80 people dead and displaced thousands in Colombia’s Catatumbo region.

With 80 people killed and 40,000 displaced by violence wrought by the leftist National Liberation Army (ELN) militia's fight with rival armed groups over drug trafficking territory in northeastern Colombia,

Colombian President Gustavo Petro asked President Donald Trump to sit down with him and talk things over a glass of whiskey, called him an outright racist in rambling social media posts and pledged to never yield to Washington’s pressure even if the economic sanctions being threatened led to his overthrow.

Trump’s uncharitable rhetoric and less-than-civilised treatment of illegal immigrants are, at the very least, likely to fuel more anti-American sentiment in the region. This resentment towards the US may well manifest in building bridges with governments and ideologies that are inimical to US interests.

When President Gustavo Petro took office in 2022, he aimed to bring about comprehensive peace in Colombia. But this now seems a remote dream amid the latest violence.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Visa appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Colombia were canceled Monday following a dispute between President Donald Trump and his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro over deportation flights from the U.S. that nearly turned into a costly trade war between the two countries.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that Colombia was suspending permission for previously authorized U.S. deportation flights to land in Colombia. Ostensibly driving Petro’s action were concerns that Colombian nationals were not being treated with respect during the deportation process because they were being transported by military aircraft.

A simmering diplomatic stand-off over deportation flights spilled onto social media Sunday, threatening the once close relationship between the US and Colombia and further exposing the anxiety many feel in Latin America towards a second Trump presidency.
