Bogota has recalled its ambassador in Argentina after President Javier Milei disrespected his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro on live television, the Foreign Affairs Ministry announced on Friday.

On Thursday, as he answered a series of questions on world leaders during a live program, Milei referred to Petro as a "communist murderer who is sinking Colombia."

In response, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign confirmed in a statement that "in light of the circumstances created by the words of the President of Argentina, the Colombian Government recalls for immediate consultations Ambassador Camilo Romero, representative of Colombia in said country."
