Relations between Colombia and the United States have reached a historic low following a heated exchange between Colombian President Gustavo Petro and United States President Donald Trump. Petro accused Trump of treating Latin Americans as Hitler treated Jews, after Trump ended all aid to Colombia and labeled Petro an 'illegal drug leader.' The feud, which began earlier this year, has led to both countries recalling their ambassadors, suspending trade, and halting military cooperation. Tensions have been further inflamed by disputes over migration, drug policy, and Colombia's criticism of United States and Israeli actions, with Petro accusing Trump of violating Colombian sovereignty and threatening military action. The diplomatic rift marks a significant deterioration in the long-standing alliance between the two nations.
