💨 Abstract

Colombian President Gustavo Petro suspended the extradition of rebel leader Willington Henao Gutiérrez, known as “Mocho Olmedo,” to the U.S. Henao, wanted for drug trafficking and money laundering, must contribute to peace talks with the Colombian government to avoid extradition. This move, part of a broader strategy by Petro, may strain U.S.-Colombia relations, as the U.S. urges tougher actions against drug trafficking.
