Trump to Hit Colombia With Tariffs, Calls Petro ‘Drug Leader’

Trump to Hit Colombia With Tariffs, Calls Petro ‘Drug Leader’

In a recent development, former US President Donald Trump has taken a hardline stance against the Colombian government led by President Gustavo Petro. Trump has accused Petro of being an "illegal drug leader" and has announced that the US will halt all aid to Colombia and impose fresh tariffs on the country. This move represents a dramatic escalation of tensions between the US and one of its closest security partners in Latin America. The decision to impose tariffs and withdraw aid is seen as a significant shift in the US's approach towards Colombia, which has long been considered a key ally in the region. The implications of these actions remain to be seen, but they are likely to have a significant impact on the political and economic landscape in the region.
