The incoming administration of President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella is set to restore pro-security and pro-United States conservative leadership to the Republic of Colombia, setting the South American nation on the path to join a wave of new conservative leadership sweeping the Americas. Following on the heels of the far-left Gustavo Petro government, President-elect de la Espriella seeks to make rapid progress toward restoring economic growth and restoring Colombia’s lost security gains against resurgent narco-terrorist threats.

With President Trump’s Shield of the Americas initiative, Washington appears poised to quickly restore the crucial U.S.-Colombia relationship and operationalize what is an essential partnership for the future of our hemisphere. Join The Heritage Foundation to learn more about the top priorities of Colombia’s incoming administration as Foreign Minister-designate Omar Bula Escobar sits down with Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts.
