Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly backed a Colombian presidential hopeful. The
candidate he praised is Abelardo De La Espriella, a right‑wing figure. Trump said De La
Espriella is important for the U.S.–Colombia relationship. He contrasted the candidate
with his left‑wing opponent. The opponent was described by Trump as a “Radical Left
Marxist.” The endorsement was delivered in a statement that highlighted ideological
differences. Trump’s support may shape how the United States is perceived in the Colombian
race. Observers will watch whether the endorsement influences voter sentiment or
diplomatic ties.
