Preşedintele ales al Columbiei anunţă deschiderea unui birou al Alianţei „Scutul Americilor”, alianţă de ţări condusă de preşedintele american Donald Trump pentru a lupta împotriva traficului de drogur

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella announced the opening of an office for the 'Shield of the Americas' in Medellin to combat drug trafficking. Colombia was previously excluded from this alliance led by the U.S. due to its leftist government. De la Espriella aims to intensify the fight against drug cartels and guerrillas, promising significant military actions and the construction of mega-prisons. Ecuador's Interior Minister stated that joint military operations against organized crime will commence immediately with the new Colombian administration. Experts warn of potential violence escalation due to these strategies.
