The U.S. Embassy in Colombia is temporarily closed

According to China Central Television News, on the 24th local time, the U.S. Embassy in Colombia issued a notice that due to large-scale demonstrations and rallies in the capital of Colombia, Bogota, on that day, the embassy will be closed in the afternoon, and advised American citizens in Colombia to avoid the demonstration crowds and remain low-key.

In the afternoon of that day, Colombian President Petro called on the public to hold a rally in Bogota demanding a constitutional convention. In addition, the United States imposed sanctions on Petro on the same day on the grounds of drug trafficking activities, which is bound to further deepen the diplomatic crisis between the two countries.
