Colombia: Trump Ally Takes Office Amid Concerns Over Militarism and Human Rights The inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella as Colombia's president marks a significant shift in the country's politics, with far reaching implications for regional security, human rights, and its complex history.
As a close ally of former US President Donald Trump, De la Espriella has pledged to crack down on armed drug gangs and strengthen ties with Washington.
This development is part of a broader trend in Latin America, where right wing politics have been gaining momentum.
