Conservative Ivan Duque wins divisive Colombian presidential election

The U.S.-educated Duque has pledged to ramp up the drug war and push for controversial changes in the historic peace accord with leftist guerrillas.

U.S. officials see him as a reliable partner who may bring back forced coca eradication with aerial spraying, which has been banned since 2015 because of its health risks.
