Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered.same_term
The promise was to support a conditional U.S. non-recognition position, not necessarily to cause non-recognition in all circumstances. While serving in his same U.S. Senate term, Moreno publicly said Washington could withhold recognition if armed-group coercion tainted Colombia's vote and proposed annulling results in affected zones. Later reporting indicated the coercion-based vote-count condition was not clearly proven, so the absence of U.S. non-recognition does not defeat the promise.
