Rubio says he didnt say he backed Colombias peace process


written by Adriaan Alsema May 12, 2017


United States Senator Marco Rubio has taken back expressed support for Colombia’s peace process, saying he will continue to insist on no money or visas for demobilizing Marxist FARC guerrillas.

The Florida Republican sent out two tweets on Thursday saying he never “backed” the peace process as was initially reported by the Miami Herald, that quoted him as urging the importance of “reassuring the Colombian people that the United States supports the implementation of Peace Colombia, but that it will be conditioned on full compliance of the agreement by the FARC.”
