US pressure on Colombia centers on counternarcotics cooperation and designated terrorist groups such as Clan del Golfo amid rising cartel violence, including April 2026 attacks in the southwest that killed at least 20. The January 2026 US operation that removed Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro heightened trader focus on possible expansion to Colombia, reinforced by early statements from President Trump referencing military options and later diplomatic engagement with President Gustavo Petro. Colombia’s May 2026 presidential election now shapes expectations, as a change in leadership could alter extradition policies and border security alignment with the United States. Recent joint actions with Ecuador targeting cross-border trafficking and the suspension of certain arrest warrants during domestic peace talks have kept direct US strikes off the table so far, though sustained cartel activity and regional instability remain key variables for any shift in probability.

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.
