Colombia's president-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella, announced that his government will close the country's embassies in fourteen nations and will not maintain relations with Cuba and Nicaragua, which he described as "tyrannies." The measure, released on Sunday night in a video on his social media accounts, will take effect from his inauguration on August 7.
