US Removes Venezuela from Drug Control Failure List, May Remove Colombia Next Year
The United States has removed Venezuela from its list of countries failing to meet drug control obligations for the first time since 2005, citing cooperation from Venezuela's interim government led by Delcy Rodríguez. This includes progress such as the killing of Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero. Colombia remains on the list but may be removed next year if President Abelardo De la Espriella's administration advances coca eradication and dismantles narcoterrorist networks. The decision reflects shifting US counternarcotics relations in Latin America amid recent conservative electoral victories.
