Colombia's New President Approves Extradition of Rebel Leaders to US
Colombia's new right-wing president, Abelardo de la Espriella, approved the extradition to the United States of five alleged members of FARC dissident groups and the Gulf Clan wanted on drug-trafficking, narco-terrorism and weapons charges. The decision reverses the suspension of extraditions approved under former President Gustavo Petro, whose negotiations with armed groups were criticized after ceasefires failed and talks broke down. De la Espriella has pledged Donald Trump to intensify Colombia's anti-drug campaign, potentially bringing Bogotá closer to Washington after strained relations under Petro.
