AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoColombia-US Security Pivot: Colombia’s new right-wing President Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in in Cali and vowed an “all-out war” on drug trafficking and “narco-terrorism,” ending peace talks with armed groups and pushing mega-prisons; the U.S. State Department says Washington will seek Congressional approval for a $1 billion security aid package tied to joint operations, coca eradication, and targeting criminal finances. Energy Policy Shift: In the same transition, De la Espriella signaled a revival of oil and gas and a stronger push for energy security, while still talking about a broader energy transformation. International Relations Move: Colombia also announced it recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, a major reversal from the prior administration. Climate/Rule of Law: Separately, UNEP says countries are turning “just transition” pledges into laws, policies, and court decisions grounded in environmental rule of law. Food & Costs Watch: Global food prices hit a three-year high, with cereals, sugar, and vegetable oils driving higher costs that can ripple into logistics and manufacturing.
