    This decision comes amid the recent diplomatic crisis between Colombia and the U.S., suggesting a possible link to the tensions between both governments. Additionally, the measure aligns with Trump’s policy of restricting foreign aid funds, with exceptions for emergency food assistance and military aid to Israel and Egypt.

      The helicopters, also used for troop transport, are stationed in Mariquita (Tolima), Putumayo, and Bogotá. Along with the suspension of their use, the U.S. will also halt the supply of spare parts, maintenance, and fuel for their operation.

      According to Noticias Caracol (spanish site), the reduction of U.S. air support in Colombian anti-narcotics operations could impact security strategies in several regions of the country.
