"Recuperamos el sendero de la cooperación que históricamente Colombia ha tenido con EEUU”: Rivera

Former Colombian Defense Minister Rodrigo Rivera spoke on NTN24 about Abelardo de la Espriella's electoral victory in the presidential elections on Sunday, June 21, where he defeated leftist candidate Iván Cepeda. De la Espriella, who obtained 49% of the vote in the second round compared to Cepeda's 48%, has promised to confront crime with an iron fist and improve the country's security. In this context, Rivera addressed the role Colombia will play in the region in its fight against drug trafficking and its involvement in the Shield of the Americas alliance of US President Donald Trump. "I believe it's a win-win situation... We are recovering the path of cooperation that Colombia has historically had with the United States and, in general, with the countries of the hemisphere in the fight against drugs and transnational crime, which was seriously interrupted and affected during Gustavo Petro's administration," he stated. #NTN24 | More information at http://www.ntn24.com | Or in Venezuela at http://www.ntn24america.com Subscribe to our channel:    / ntn24   Follow us on social media!
