US Drug Policy Shift: Venezuela Delisted, Colombia Decertified

The US has removed Venezuela from its list of countries failing to combat drug trafficking, reversing a 21-year decertification, while maintaining its designation as a major drug transit/production country. Concurrently, the US has decertified Colombia for narcotics cooperation, though aid continues via a national interest waiver. This dual action signals a significant, politically motivated recalibration of US counter-narcotics policy in Latin America.
