  • US President Donald Trump has ordered to imposition of tariffs, visa restrictions, and other retaliatory measures against Colombia.

The article from MSN discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on Colombian exports and visa restrictions on Colombian nationals. This action was taken in response to what Trump described as Colombia's failure to adequately address the influx of drugs into the United States, particularly cocaine. The tariffs aim to pressure Colombia into taking stronger measures against drug cartels and reducing drug production. Additionally, the visa restrictions are intended to limit travel for certain Colombian officials and citizens linked to the drug trade, signaling a tougher stance on international drug trafficking. This move has sparked concerns about potential economic repercussions for both countries, affecting trade relations and possibly leading to retaliatory measures from Colombia.
