I extend my congratulations to all who were involved in the process. “The finalization of a peace deal is a monumental step. However, much work still remains. The peace implementation phase will require the same dedication and candor that led to this agreement. The United States stands ready to support our Colombian partners in their efforts to provide greater prosperity and security to the Colombian people and to ensure that this is a just and lasting peace.” Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
