TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH
Ambrosio Hernandez: A historic bilateral deal has just been signed between the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the left-wing guerillas of the FARC. What’s your opinion?
Senator Marco Rubio: That’s up to the people of Colombia. It’s a sovereign nation, and I’m not going to interfere in the affairs of a sovereign nation. What I can say is that as part of the negotiation, the United States cannot be asked to free, for example, Simon Trinidad, a FARC terrorist who’s in prison in the United States and was sentenced by our courts. That cannot be part of any change.

Ambrosio Hernandez: Se acaba de firmar un acuerdo bilateral histórico entre el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos y la guerrilla izquierdista de las FARC. ¿Cómo lo ve usted?
Senador Marco Rubio: Eso le corresponde al pueblo de Colombia. Es un país soberano, y yo no voy a interferir en los asuntos de un país soberano. Lo que si te puedo decir es que como parte de esa negociación no se le puede pedir a los Estados Unidos que ponga en libertad, por ejemplo, a Simon Trinidad, a un terrorista del FARC que está encarcelado en Estados Unidos y condenado por nuestras cortes. Eso no puede ser parte de ningún cambio.
