@ABDELAESPRIELLA 's response to President Trump:

[Abelardo De La Espriella @ABDELAESPRIELLA]

Dear President Donald J. Trump, @realDonaldTrump

With my head held high and a heart full of patriotic gratitude, I receive your words and your steadfast support. Thank you, Mr. President!

In you, I see a leader of true strength and conviction—one who refuses to yield to passing ideological trends or the enemies of freedom. You have paved the way for the people to defeat the entrenched powers that have long held sway. In Colombia, we have now begun to follow that same path.

The United States and Colombia are sister nations, bound by the blood of heroes and by our shared destiny to defend Western civilization across the Americas. Together, we are unbreakable. This partnership—forged and strengthened by two leaders who respect each other and share the same unshakable values and principles—will bring greater prosperity to our peoples, greater security to our families, and a brighter future for both our nations.

Our security policies are fully aligned: narcoterrorism is the cancer destroying our societies, and we will confront it relentlessly, with iron resolve and without apology.

We stand together in the sacred defense of private property, free enterprise, productive growth, and the well-being of our citizens as the highest purpose of government. We defend liberty, we present a united front against the communism that seeks to poison our republics, and we will join the Alliance of the Shield of the Americas so that the light of freedom never dims in this hemisphere.

May God, Family, and Prosperity guide us. In this coming Era of the Tiger—which begins on June 21—we look forward to the full normalization of relations between Colombia and the United States, built on mutual respect, sovereignty, and mutual benefit.

May God bless Colombia and the United States of America!

Firm for the Homeland!

Rubio, without describing the US military assault as a “war,” says it’s a “fact” that the military operation is over.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: "We defined victory as destroying their defense industrial base, significantly reducing the number of missile launchers they possess, and significantly reducing their stockpile of drones, and we achieved all of those."

Lots of new reporting on why Trump selected Bill Pulte, someone with no intelligence experience, to be his acting director of national intelligence

"I'm not committing to doing anything in writing," Acting AG Todd Blanche says when asked about formally rescinding the $1.8 billion fund.

[Ben Pershing @benpershing]

In Bill Pulte, Trump selected as his intelligence chief a loyalist with no demonstrated national security or intel experience. What he did have: a record of going after many of Trump’s political enemies.

"Bill is a move-fast-and-break-things kind of guy," a source said.

Rubio says he has no problem with the Iranian soccer team but that he will watch Iran’s delegation “very closely” as the World Cup is set to kick off next week⚽️🏆⚽️

“We have no problem with the athletes, as we stated earlier, or their support staff, but what we’re not going to allow is for them to embed in their delegation a bunch of people that we know have nothing to do with athletics and have ties to the (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) or things of that nature. So we were going to watch that very closely.”
