De la Espreilla sworn in as Colombian president with US aid
Abelardo de la Espriella, the 48-year-old right-wing lawyer, took the constitutional oath as the President of Colombia after winning the elections held last June. During his speech before the armed forces in Cali, he pledged to combat drug trafficking and armed groups, emphasizing that the option of peace has been exhausted and that these groups face either submission to sovereignty or decisive confrontation by the state. He announced that one of his government's first measures would be Colombia's participation in the "America's Shield" program established by Trump, ensuring that the government will support businesses and promote secure, profitable investment in the country.
