佛罗里达州联邦众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉萨尔（共和党籍）正借哥伦比亚总统阿韦拉多·德拉埃斯普列利亚的背书为自己的国会连任竞选造势。

Rep. María Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., is touting an endorsement from Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella as she seeks re-election to Congress.
In a video that the lawmaker posted, the foreign leader, speaking in Spanish, referred to Salazar as his nation’s “best friend” in America’s Congress.
The foreign leader is a Colombian American citizen who owns property located in the U.S. lawmaker’s congressional district, and he and his wife have previously given nearly $90,000 to Salazar, NBC News reported.

“And I receive with immense pride the support of my friend, President Abelardo de la Espriella,” Salazar wrote in part of a Spanish-language post on X, which included the video of the foreign official supporting her.
“Representing thousands of Colombians in South Florida has made Colombia a cause I carry with me every day to Congress,” she noted in the post. “Abelardo has in me a friend. Colombia, an ally. And Colombians, a steadfast voice in the United States Congress.”
