Colombia's new president: Trump-backed Abelardo de la Espriella takes office

Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right populist and dual Colombian-American citizen, has been sworn in as Colombia's president. Breaking tradition by taking office outside the capital, he aims to implement a hardline security agenda, reduce the size of the state, and strengthen ties with the U.S. His presidency marks a shift toward anti-establishment governance amidst deep national polarization.
