Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered state-run oil company Ecopetrol to cancel its joint venture with U.S.-based Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) over environmental concerns.
The $880 million project in the Permian Basin, set to produce 90,000 barrels per day, involved fracking, a practice Petro strongly opposes. He urged reinvesting in clean energy instead.
While Colombia bans domestic fracking, this marks the first time it has blocked an overseas fracking deal.
Standing up to trump will.
I disagree. You underestimate the amount of people here at my old Latin America that just simps for north americans, no matter what
Did they miss how Trump strong-armed the very same Colombia with the immigration planes? Is the misinformation that strong there already?
decades of indoctrination wouldn’t change simply because of that
Yeah but “strong man” machismo standing up to “strong man” trump does have benefits.
