美国在哥伦比亚右翼新总统就职后，承诺向其提供10亿美元安全援助。
曾以爱搞噱头的百万富翁律师阿韦拉尔多·德拉斯普列利亚于周五就职，开启四年任期，其竞选活动主打民众对安全问题的愤怒与担忧。
声明称：“作为这一重新确立的伙伴关系的基石，美国将与国会一道，宣布提供10亿美元援助，作为安全援助计划的一部分，以支持（阿韦拉尔多·）德拉斯普列利亚总统的政府实现我们的共同目标。”
尽管从未有过竞选公职经历，德拉斯普列利亚还是获得了特朗普总统的背书。

德拉斯普列利亚如今有着宏伟计划：打击武装叛乱分子、亲近美国、全面改革体制。在就职后的首次演讲中，他承诺“毫不留情地击败恐怖主义贩毒集团”，并补充道“对话选项已完全穷尽”——这是在暗指前政府与游击队断断续续的和平谈判。
在与美国爆发四年外交争端后，特朗普如今在波哥大迎来了一位热切的盟友。哥伦比亚一直是美国在禁毒领域的首要盟友，也是其在西半球最重要的贸易伙伴之一。然而，该国首位左翼总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗执政期间，两国关系急转直下。
佩特罗政府推动了打击贩毒斗争的范式转变，并试图与武装团体进行和平谈判，但以失败告终。在多年和平谈判失败、暴力活动令社区更加危险之后，哥伦比亚选民转而选择了一位政治圈外人。
拥有美国和哥伦比亚双重国籍的德拉斯普列利亚将行军礼作为自己的标志性动作。
他提出允许美军驻扎哥伦比亚领土，计划轰炸丛林中的可卡因实验室、建造“超级监狱”并精简政府机构规模。
U.S. pledges $1 billion in security assistance to Colombia as new president vows to “defeat narco-terrorism”

The United States pledged $1 billion in security assistance to Colombia after its new right-wing president took office.
Abelardo de la Espriella, a millionaire lawyer with a taste for spectacle, took office Friday for his four-year term after a campaign focused on anger and fears about security.
“As a cornerstone of this renewed partnership, the United States, working with Congress, intends to announce $1 billion in assistance as part of a security package to support President (Abelardo) de la Espriella’s administration in achieving our shared goals,” the statement said.
De la Espriella earned President Trump’s endorsement despite never having run for office.

De la Espriella now has grand plans to crush armed insurgents, cozy up to the U.S. and overhaul the system. In his first speech upon taking office, he pledged to “relentlessly defeat narco-terrorism,” adding that “the option of dialogue is completely exhausted” — a reference to the former administration’s spluttering peace talks with guerrillas.
After four years of diplomatic spats with the U.S., Mr. Trump now has an eager ally in Bogota. Colombia has been the United States’ top ally in counternarcotics and one of its most important trade partners in the Western Hemisphere. However, that relationship took a sharp turn during former President Gustavo Petro’s administration, the first leftist president in the country’s history.
Petro’s administration promoted a paradigm shift in the fight against drug trafficking and unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate peace with armed groups. Colombian voters then turned to a political outsider after years of failed peace negotiations and violence made their communities more dangerous.
De la Espriella, who holds dual U.S. and Colombian citizenship, has adopted a military salute as his signature move.
He has offered to host U.S. troops on Colombian soil and wants to bomb jungle cocaine labs, build “mega-prisons” and slash the size of the state.
