Post# of 50426
Vice President Mike Pence sets off for a tour of the tropics as instability in Venezuela continues to impact the region.
Pence will meet with Colombian President Juan Miguel Santos Sunday and is expected to ask for assurances that the country will cut the coca production, which fuels the cartel’s drug trade.
Pence will also make separate stops in Argentina, Chile and Panama where he will tour the newly expanded Panama Canal.
A White House statement said Pence will meet with South American business leaders to deepen bi-lateral trade and investment in the region.
