Argentine President Javier Milei has publicly endorsed Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella ahead of Sunday's run-off election. In a recorded conversation, Milei told de la Espriella, 'We’re going to have an unbeatable relationship between our countries now that Petro is leaving. You’ve got to beat that lefty son of a b*tch.' The endorsement underscores the ideological alignment between the two far-right leaders and highlights the high stakes of the Colombian election, where de la Espriella faces leftist senator Ivan Cepeda. Milei's support could energize conservative voters in Colombia but may also deepen polarization in the campaign's final days.
