Colombia's De la Espriella sworn in, vows crackdown on armed groups

Right-wing lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as Colombia's president on Friday in Cali, breaking tradition by holding the ceremony outside the capital to signal a hard-line stance on armed groups. He pledged to defeat narco-terrorism, cut government spending, and revive the oil and gas industry, reversing the peace policies of predecessor Gustavo Petro.
