Donald Trump publicly backed Abelardo de la Espriella late Tuesday, inserting himself into Colombia’s presidential runoff with an endorsement of the celebrity lawyer.
In a social media post, Trump said de la Espriella would grow the economy, create jobs, promote trade, curb illegal immigration, crack down on crime and drugs, and restore law and order.
The endorsement marks a fresh effort by the US president to weigh in on the politics of a Latin American neighbor ahead of the decisive vote.
