Trump Endorses Colombian Candidate

Colombian presidential frontrunner Abelardo de la Espriella, known as “The Tiger,” is thanking Donald Trump for his fiery endorsement—calling him a “strong leader” set to battle a “radical leftist Marxist.” Trump’s support echoes past interventions in Honduras and Argentina, sparking criticism over U.S. meddling in foreign elections. Tensions between Washington and Bogota simmer over migration, Gaza, and drug trafficking, with President Gustavo Petro rebuking Trump’s involvement, urging voters to remain free from foreign control. De la Espriella, a dual citizen and Republican with no prior elected office, won 43% in the first round, pledging to crush coca crops and curb cocaine flows to the U.S.—aligning squarely with American policy.
