AI Summary
Thousands of Colombians protested in cities across the country on Wednesday against potential U.S. military intervention following Donald Trump's remarks about expanding military action into Colombia after an attack in Venezuela. The protests, including in Cúcuta and Bogotá, were sparked by a U.S. special forces raid in Caracas, Venezuela, where President Nicolás Maduro was captured.
