Strained bilateral ties between the United States and Colombia, driven by counter-narcotics disputes and U.S. concerns over cartel activity, remain the dominant factor shaping trader views on the likelihood of a U.S. strike. Following U.S. military actions in Venezuela and lethal strikes on suspected drug vessels, President Trump publicly stated that operations targeting Colombia “sound good,” prompting Colombian President Gustavo Petro to describe a “real threat” to sovereignty and deploy forces near the Venezuelan border. Ongoing U.S. sanctions on Petro and aid reductions have further eroded cooperation, while Colombia’s May 2026 presidential election could shift policy toward renewed security partnership or greater independence. Traders currently assign low probabilities to near-term strikes, reflecting the absence of confirmed U.S. kinetic operations inside Colombian territory and the preference for diplomatic or law-enforcement channels.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on the soil of Colombia is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.Strained bilateral ties between the United States and Colombia, driven by counter-narcotics disputes and U.S. concerns over cartel activity, remain the dominant factor shaping trader views on the likelihood of a U.S. strike.
