💨 Abstract

The U.S. Trump administration designated the Colombian drug cartel Clan del Golfo as a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying financial and potential military pressure. The group, known for its violent activities and cocaine trafficking, operates in about a third of Colombia's municipalities. This move follows recent tensions between the U.S. and Colombia, with the U.S. accusing Colombian President Gustavo Petro of not adequately combating drug cartels.
