| Associated Press | COLOMBIA’S NEW PRESIDENT SIGNALS ENERGY POLICY SHIFT, BACKS OIL AND GAS | 1 hr ago |
Colombia's new president has signaled a shift in the country's energy policy, expressing support for oil and gas, according to Associated Press. This move comes as the president, described as a Trump ally by Fox News, takes office amid a broader rightward shift in the continent. The immediate significance of this shift is not fully detailed in the available information.
The president, known as 'El Tigre', has been sworn in, marking a significant change in leadership for Colombia, as reported by Fox News. Details on the specific policies or measures the new president plans to implement in support of oil and gas are not provided in the available sources. The US Senate has also approved a sweeping Russia sanctions bill targeting energy income, which may have implications for global energy markets, as reported by Euronews.
This shift in energy policy and the change in leadership in Colombia occur against a backdrop of global energy market changes and geopolitical tensions, including calls for a windfall tax on big oil's profits from the Iran war, as noted by The Guardian.
