A US senator from Colombia emerges as a Trump link for Latin America’s conservatives

MIAMI (AP) — When Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno visits Colombia this week as part of a three-nation tour of Latin America, it will be something of a homecoming.
Ohio’s first Latino senator, who defeated an incumbent last year with the help of Donald Trump’s endorsement, was born in the Colombian capital of Bogota, and even as he was chasing the American dream, he kept close tabs on the country through older brothers who are heavyweights in politics and business there.
Moreno, 58, has emerged as an interlocutor for conservatives in Latin America seeking to connect with the Trump administration.
In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of the trip, he expressed deep concern about Colombia’s direction under left-wing President Gustavo Petro and suggested that U.S. sanctions, higher tariffs or other retaliatory action might be needed to steer it straight.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno wants Senate to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

“President Trump just pulled off what neocons and Democrat globalists have failed to do for decades: peace in the Middle East with Iran’s nuclear arsenal decimated – all with no American boots on the ground, American casualties, or injuries,” said a press statement from Moreno, who won his Senate seat with Trump’s endorsement.

Sen. Bernie Moreno is an ambitious Republican. Here's his Wikipedia:

He definitely entered life with advantages not available to the typical Colombian, or U.S. American. What a shame Trump and right-wing sponsors helped Bernie Moreno replace a decent human being, Sherrod Brown.
