Three US announcements signal rapidly expanding ties with Colombia, but key questions remain. Joint military operations, regional security coalition and a proposed $1 USD billion aid package are now in focus.

President Abelardo de la Espriella named María Consuelo Araújo as ambassador to the US, returning to diplomacy a former foreign minister from a political family marked by paramilitary and kidnapping cases.

Colombia’s economic emergency expands presidential powers for up to 30 days. Here’s what De la Espriella can, and cannot do.
