In an interview on Univision, Petro indicated that the easiest way might be for Trump himself to step down, implying a call for his removal. This statement was interpreted by Rep. Carlos Gim\u00e9nez and Rep. Maria elvira Salazar as a threat to &#8220;overthrow&#8221; Trump, raising concerns about Petro being a threat to regional security. The tension follows a series of clashes between Trump and Petro, including trump&#8217;s accusations against Petro of encouraging drug production in Colombia and his decision to revoke Petro&#8217;s visa due to Petro&#8217;s participation in a pro-Palestinian protest. The article highlights the deteriorating relationship between the two leaders and the political fallout from Petro&#8217;s remarks.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Latino GOP condemns Colombian president&rsquo;s threats to &lsquo;overthrow&rsquo; Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2377777\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Colombian President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3856259\/trump-colombia-gustavo-petro-drug-fields-subsidies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gustavo Petro<\/a> drew backlash from Latino lawmakers for suggesting that President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3856554\/trump-teases-new-colombia-tariff-drug-trafficking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> should be removed from office.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Humanity has a first offramp, it is to choose to change Trump in various ways,&rdquo; Petro said in Spanish on Monday in Univision&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D5zv92zEXwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>El Reporte Coronell<\/em><\/a>. &ldquo;The easiest way may be through Trump himself.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3858329\/jd-vance-optimistic-gaza-ceasefire-deal-despite-cracks-showing\/\">Vance voices optimism for Gaza ceasefire deal after cracks start to show<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3858276\/trump-second-meeting-budapest-putin-on-hold\/\">Trump&#8217;s second meeting with Putin put on ice, White House official confirms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3858122\/oxford-union-president-elect-out-charlie-kirk-comments\/\">Oxford Union president-elect ousted over Charlie Kirk comments refuses to go quietly<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;If not &mdash; get rid of Trump,&rdquo; Petro said and snapped his fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
