De la Espriella, a lawyer and businessman with zero political experience, beat them at their own game. He won because he was an outsider.

The media proclaims "A pro-Trump wave has swept Latin America," as President Donald Trump's choice wins the presidency of Colombia.

Consistent with its past visa-revocation policies, Trump's State Department took action against the pro-Palestinian Petro.

Colombian officials agreed on April 13 to a plan that would cull about 80 of the "cocaine hippos," which have become an invasive species.

A bullet hole was found in an American Airlines jet that flew from Miami to Colombia, and no one know when the aircraft was shot at.

President Donald Trump did not mince words when asked if the leader of drug-producing Colombia should be nervous.

"Right now they are bombing Caracas. Alert to the whole world, they have attacked Venezuela," he said in a Saturday morning post.

The police chief – an immigrant from Colombia – refused to say whether the gunman had yelled "Allahu Akbar!" before shooting the victims.
