Trump-Backed Rightist Wins Colombia Presidency

Far-right millionaire Abelardo de la Espriella has won Colombia's presidential runoff, defeating leftist senator Iván Cepeda by a razor-thin margin.

The Trump-endorsed lawyer, who has never held public office, promised a crackdown on crime and a return to business-friendly policies.

His victory marks a sharp rightward shift for the country after four years of leftist rule under Gustavo Petro.

The result has sparked protests and allegations of fraud from his opponents.
