Secretary Rubio spoke to President-Elect Abelardo De La Espriella of Colombia to congratulate him on his electoral victory.  This result reflects the will of the Colombian people and their commitment to democracy.  The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with his incoming administration to advance our bilateral and regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen the economic ties between our two countries.  Through our close bilateral cooperation, and under the leadership of President-Elect De La Espriella, Colombia’s best days are ahead.
