The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to provide $1 billion in security assistance to Colombia under newly inaugurated President Abelardo De La Espriella, the U.S. State Department said Friday.
The proposed funding signals a renewed security partnership between Washington and Bogotá following De La Espriella’s election and inauguration.
The new right-wing Colombian president has pledged to tackle crime and revive the country’s economy.
The former Colombian president also criticized Trump for endorsing De La Espriella during the election.
The new $1 billion Colombia security aid plan now highlights a significant shift in U.S.-Colombia relations under the country’s new administration.
