The Trump administration has officially designated Colombia as a country failing to cooperate in the fight against drug trafficking, marking the first time in nearly 30 years that such a classification has been made. President Trump has accused Colombian President Gustavo Petro of failing to fulfill drug control obligations, and the US is poised to decertify Colombia as an ally in the drug fight. Despite this designation, the US plans to continue providing funding to Colombia. Alongside Colombia, Venezuela has also been cited for not meeting counternarcotics commitments. The situation poses a significant diplomatic challenge for Colombia, as it braces for the implications of this shift in US policy.
