US announces intention to send $1 billion aid to Colombia

U.S. State Department officials announced late Friday an intention to work with Congress to approve a $1 billion assistance package for Colombia, as the new right-wing president there took office.

"As a cornerstone of this renewed partnership, the United States, working with Congress, intends to announce $1 billion in assistance as part of a security package to support President (Abdelardo) de la Espriella’s administration in achieving our shared goals," the statement said.
