eltigre

Trump just endorsed a Colombian presidential candidate. This changes everything.
His name is Abelardo de la Espriella.
They call him "El Tigre."
This isn't a routine diplomatic gesture. A sitting US President publicly backing a specific candidate in a Latin American election is a massive geopolitical signal.
Trump doesn't throw endorsements around for nothing.
Colombia sits at the center of the drug trade, migration routes, and US strategic interests in South America. Whoever controls Bogota controls a lot more than people realize.
El Tigre now walks into the race with the most powerful political brand in the world behind him.
What does Washington want in return?
Tighter border cooperation. Cartel crackdowns. A hard pivot away from the leftist regional bloc that's been growing across Latin America.
Maduro is watching. Petro is watching. The entire region is watching.
Trump just drew a line in South America.
And he picked his man.
