The United States government has officially designated Colombia's notorious criminal syndicate, Clan del Golfo, as a terrorist organization. This move comes after years of the group's involvement in narcotics trafficking and violent activities.
The US State Department announced the designation, emphasizing Clan del Golfo's brutal tactics and impact on both Colombia and the United States. The organization, also known as the Gulf Clan, has been responsible for a significant portion of the drug trafficking operations in Colombia, contributing to the flow of illegal drugs into the US.
According to reports, Clan del Golfo has been involved in a range of criminal activities, including extortion, kidnappings, and assassinations. The designation as a terrorist organization will allow the US government to take stronger action against the group, including freezing any assets they may have in the US and imposing sanctions on anyone found to be supporting them.
Colombian officials have welcomed the move, pledging to continue efforts to dismantle Clan del Golfo and address the root causes of organized crime in the country. The US designation is seen as a significant step in the international fight against drug trafficking and terrorism.

Despite these concerns, the Trump administration is determined to take a tough stance on the issue and address the root causes of the problem.
