💨 Abstract

Colombia and the U.S. face a renewed diplomatic crisis in 2025, following a previous incident in January when Colombia refused to accept deported migrants in chains. The latest dispute arose from a leaked audio where former Colombian official Álvaro Leyva allegedly discussed a plot to overthrow President Gustavo Petro, implicating U.S. figures. Both nations recalled their respective diplomats. Despite calls for restraint, Petro stated he wouldn't cave to U.S. pressure, complicating efforts to resolve the issue.
