Trump just cut off military and economic aid to Columbia, because of…you guessed it…a political clash with President Petro. Bonus points if you guessed that this move would have some adverse effects, like reviving the Colombian cocaine trade.

Colombia’s geography is divided between the fertile lowlands (ideal for coca cultivation) and the populated highlands. Naturally, a divide between the two formed; that fueled a civil war, until the US stepped in to help defeat the militias and fund new programs to replace coca, with coffee, flowers, and cocoa.

President Petro—a former M-19 guerrilla member turned political malcontent—has been alienating allies and as US support fades, these once successful programs will collapse. Leaving coca as one of the few alternatives available to these farmers. And it just so happens that the US is likely to see a shift away from fentanyl and back to more traditional drugs…like cocaine.
