Tensions between the US and Colombia persist amid ongoing US military strikes on suspected narco-trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific near Colombian waters, with Operation Southern Spear hitting targets as recently as May 9, prompting President Gustavo Petro to suspend intelligence cooperation. Earlier this year, following the US intervention in Venezuela that removed Nicolas Maduro, President Trump openly threatened military action against Colombia, calling an operation there "sounds good," while Petro warned of a "real threat" and vowed armed resistance if invaded. Despite a subsequent White House invitation to Petro and Colombia's status as a major non-NATO ally, traders price a strike on Colombian soil at low odds, reflecting focus on maritime interdictions rather than escalation to sovereign territory, with no new diplomatic breakthroughs or troop movements reported. Colombia's presidential election outcome in May could influence bilateral counternarcotics efforts.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
