Colombia joins Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition
by Flint: Abelardo de la Espriella
Pete Hegseth confirmed Colombia is joining President Trump's Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition as the 19th member of the A3C. The newly inaugurated right-wing leader Abelardo de la Espriella, referred to as President El Tigre, has already requested that the Department of War assist in the fight against narco-terrorism. This move authorizes joint military operations specifically designed to destroy terrorist and terror networks targeting cartels. It marks a massive shift from the former left-wing administration of Gustavo Petro, with officials stating Colombia is about to become a big ally. The authorization comes just days after the inauguration, signaling an immediate pivot in security strategy and international cooperation.

Thank you very much.
