NewzThe Colombian government, led by President Abelardo de la Espriella, is currently evaluating a multi-billion-dollar military contract signed by the administration of his predecessor, Gustavo Petro. The agreement, finalized in November of last year, involves the purchase of 17 Swedish-made Saab Gripen fighter jets.
The contract carries a price tag of 16.5 trillion pesos, which amounts to nearly 5 billion US dollars at the current exchange rate. The ongoing review by the new administration places the future of this major defense acquisition under scrutiny.
