Biden increases pressure on Duque with explicit support for Colombia's peace process
by Adriaan Alsema March 1, 2021
US President Joe Biden is increasing pressure on Colombia’s President Ivan Duque to stop trying to obstruct justice and his country’s peace process.
Biden wrote his Colombian counterpart that he “eager to reinvigorate” relations, but was “committed to a bipartisan agenda” that “contributes towards a durable peace” in Colombia.
. . .
Relations between the two countries strained after US authorities found out that Duque’s far-right party and Colombia’s ambassador to Washington DC were trying to meddle in the US elections.
Duque didn’t respond to the letter until Saturday after US Ambassador Philip Goldberg expressed his support for Colombia’s war crimes tribunal, which is opposed by Duque’s Democratic Center party.
