So what?  One hundred nineteen extradition orders in two months means Bogotá is pushing cases abroad fast, which will raise the load of extradition-linked evidence and liaison requests on partner governments. Armed groups near 30,000 fighting over smuggling corridors are the supply side of the cocaine reaching European ports, so the lean is that seizure pressure stays high rather than easing under the crackdown.

So what?  A Trump-aligned government taking office August 7 with an explicitly pro-U.S. tilt is a genuine opening for renewed security and capacity-building cooperation after years of friction with the outgoing government. But if the JEP push goes further than the walk-back suggests, unwinding the framework that reintegrated thousands of ex-combatants risks pushing some back toward the drug-trafficking groups it was built to move them away from.
