‘Paz Colombia’: Santos, Obama Announce Next Chapter of U.S. Support
President Barack Obama furthered his support in Colombia with a new economic assistance program that would allocate $450 million for peace efforts, as announced in the White House Thursday in a joint press conference with President Juan Manuel Santos.
The two presidents were also commemorating the fifteen-year anniversary of Plan Colombia, the U.S. initiative to aid the Colombian government on their ongoing war on drugs.
This is Colombia's most recent effort to end the 50-year-long conflict that has long plagued the South American nation.
