Colombia's New President De la Espriella Vows Tough Stance on Rebels
Abelardo de la Espriella, Colombia's new president, has pledged to confront rebel groups with increased military force and reduce government spending to address the budget deficit. His administration marks a shift to the right after a left-leaning government. De la Espriella plans to cut diplomatic ties with Cuba, restore relations with Israel, and align Colombia's foreign policy with the U.S. He also supports the Trump administration's anti-drug strategies. Domestically, he aims to cut government spending by 40% and close several embassies.
