One week after the summit, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to calm the continent’s fears about the US-Colombia agreement, explaining that it is merely a minor revision of the Bill Clinton-era Plan Colombia, an American program to support the government against the drug cartels.

在峰会后一周，美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿试图缓和南美诸国对美国&#45;&#45;哥伦比亚军事协议的恐惧。她解释说这只不过是对克林顿时期《哥伦比亚计划》的微调而已。美国的该项计划是为了支持哥政府对抗毒品卡特尔。但她的解释没有令人放心。
