English/ Español: Rubio Holds Virtual Meeting With Colombian-American Business Leaders to Discuss the Ongoing Unrest in Colombia
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) held a virtual meeting with Colombian business leaders who reside in the United States to discuss the impact their respective business sectors are confronting amid national blockades and acts of arson in the nation. During the meeting, Rubio discussed the challenges in Colombia’s flower industry, freight forward industry, palm oil industry, and electrical industry.
Joining Rubio in the meeting with Colombian-American business leaders were Colombia’s Consul General to Miami, Pedro Agustín Valencia Laserna, and Colombian Congressman Juan David Vélez, who is also the President of the Foreign Affairs Commission.
“Following very difficult weeks in Colombia, it’s worrisome to hear about the reality that leaders of the Colombian-American business sectors are facing,” Rubio said. “From acts of vandalism, to blockades and riots, it is clear there is an orchestrated attack against the stability of Colombia’s democratic future. President Biden should make Colombia a top priority and support our most important democratic ally in our region.”
Rubio is Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
