Rebel Leaders from Colombia Leave Venezuela After US Intervention

Leaders of Colombian rebel organizations operating in Venezuela have left the country following the recent US military operation that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Bogotá has long suspected that Venezuela has been harboring leaders of the ELN and other factions. Following Maduro's overthrow, Colombia has put its borders on alert and deployed 30,000 troops. President Trump warned President Petro to be careful, while Petro responded that he is ready to defend his homeland.
