Submission – The U.S. has officially “decertified” Colombia for the first time in nearly three decades, with the Trump administration declaring that Bogotá has “failed demonstrably” to curb cocaine production and trafficking. President Gustavo Petro blasted the move as hypocritical and counterproductive, arguing that past U.S. militarized strategies have failed while domestic demand in the U.S. continues to fuel the trade. The decision highlights a growing rift in a traditionally close partnership, raising questions about the future of U.S. aid, regional security cooperation, and how Latin American states will recalibrate their drug-policy approaches in response.
