Colombia’s President has spoken with former President Trump following the recent earthquake. During the conversation, he expressed gratitude for offered humanitarian aid. He also requested the suspension of US tariffs, arguing that easing these “high” levies would significantly aid in the country’s economic recovery. The president emphasized that a strong alliance with the United States is crucial for successful reconstruction efforts. He stated the tariffs are a barrier to recovery following the devastating seismic event. The request highlights Colombia’s need for broad support—both immediate disaster relief and long-term economic assistance—from the US.
