U.S. Decertifies Colombia as Drug Control Partner for First Time in Decades

In a historic decision, the U.S. has decertified Colombia as a partner in the drug war for the first time in nearly 30 years, citing increased cocaine production and political tensions. This shift raises concerns about the future of U.S.-Colombia relations, potentially impacting military support and regional security efforts. The decision reflects growing frustrations over Colombia's effectiveness in combating drug trafficking and may have significant implications for future aid and cooperation.
