On September 16, 2026, the United States government, led by President Donald Trump, officially maintained Colombia’s status as a country that has demonstrably failed to meet its international obligations in the fight against drug trafficking. The decision keeps Colombia on a list of four nations subject to decertification due to perceived shortcomings in counternarcotics efforts.

The announcement has drawn sharp criticism from U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, who characterized the current state of Colombian policy as a product of the administration’s incompetence and chaos. While the U.S. executive branch maintains a critical stance toward the current government's performance, President Trump expressed optimism that the situation could improve through future cooperation with figures such as De la Espriella.
