Citing news reports of the military movements, Pence called them “an obvious effort at intimidation’’ during an appearance at the UN General Assembly in New York.
He pledged that the U.S. would stand by its allies.
“Of course, President Ivan Duque is observing the evolution of the situation,’’ Holmes Trujillo told Colombian journalists in New York.
“Until now, we have not been informed about violations of Colombian territory,’’ Caracol Radio quoted the minister as saying.
