United States Drug Enforcement Administration

“Honored to represent DEA at the inauguration of President Abelardo de la Espriella.

Colombia has an opportunity to return to what works: strong leadership, trusted partnership, intelligence sharing, and relentless pressure against narcoterrorists and transnational criminal organizations.

DEA is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Colombia again.

We will hunt down those who profit from cocaine, corruption, violence, and terror. There will be no safe haven, no protected trafficking route, and no immunity for those who poison our communities.

The partnership between the United States and Colombia has changed history before.

It will do so again.”

Terry Cole
