Tensions between the US and Colombia peaked in early January 2026 when President Trump threatened military action against Bogotá following the US operation that removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, prompting President Petro to warn of a "real threat" of invasion and order military defenses. Colombia's defense minister soon downplayed risks, signaling de-escalation, while US boat strikes continued targeting alleged narco-trafficking vessels in the Pacific near Colombian waters, killing suspects without entering sovereign territory. A February US-Colombia pact to jointly pursue narco bosses led to Colombian airstrikes on guerrillas, reflecting renewed cooperation. With no direct US strikes on Colombian soil in the past 30 days and Bogotá's May 2026 elections approaching, trader consensus views escalation as unlikely absent major provocations like intensified drug flows or diplomatic breakdowns.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a US-initiated drone, missile, or air strike on the soil of Colombia is announced or credibly reported to have occurred by the listed date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within the listed country.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of the listed country counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Tensions between the US and Colombia peaked in early January 2026 when President Trump threatened military action against Bogotá following the US operation that removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, prompting President Petro to warn of a "real threat" of invasion and order military defenses.
