Ivanka Trump, the daughter and adviser of United States President Trump, is interested in US support for a UN-monitored counternarcotics program, according to Colombia’s vice-president.

So far, the US has refused to support the crop substitution program that is part of the South American country’s peace process because it employs former FARC guerrillas.

Despite their transformation from a guerrilla group to a political party in 2017, the US government continues to formally consider the FARC a terrorist group, making it legally impossible to financially support the UN’s counternarcotics efforts.

Nevertheless, the US president’s daughter told Vice-President Marta Lucia Ramirez that she was interested in supporting the UN strategy during an official visit.
