US may consider repatriation of FARC leader: McCain
posted by Adriaan Alsema
Republican Senator John McCain said Thursday that the US will “take seriously what Colombia recommends” concerning the possible repatriation of a formerly extradited FARC leader, clashing with previous statements given by fellow Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
McCain told Colombia newspaper El Espectador that if Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos were to ask, the US would be willing to consider the liberation of guerrilla “Simon Trinidad.”
When asked if Trinidad’s repatriation is possible, McCain said he “would like to see what the decision of the Colombian government is.”
“Of course, I take seriously what Colombia recommends,” the Senator stated.
