Progressive candidate concedes Colombian presidential election to outsider endorsed by Trump

In a surprising turn of events, Iván Duque, an unlikely outsider and never-before-politician, has clinched the Colombian presidential election, defeating the progressive candidate, Guillermo Uribe. Duque, who was endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump, won by a narrow margin of just 1 percentage point. This outcome underscores the unpredictable nature of elections and signals a shift away from traditional political figures in Colombia. Duque's victory has raised eyebrows internationally, especially given Trump's endorsement, and could influence regional politics and U.S.-Colombia relations moving forward.
