Rubio Bolsters Colombia’s Security Pact | Global News

Secretary of State Marco Rubio kicks off a Latin America tour in Colombia, rallying behind the new president’s alignment with Trump’s hardline drug and immigration policies. Rubio clarifies Colombia doesn’t want U.S. boots on the ground—but seeks advanced gear, intel, and elite training to crush cartels themselves. The Colombian leader sees this as forging a long-term security partnership, targeting labs and kingpins. Meanwhile, a major Venezuela oil deal hands U.S. control over key reserves, aiming to funnel wealth to future democratically elected leaders. Beyond security, nuclear cooperation and critical mineral agreements signal a broader strategic realignment between the U.S. and Colombia.
