NewzColombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has formally requested that United States President Donald Trump temporarily suspend a 12.5% tariff on Colombian goods. The request follows a magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Colombia on Monday, causing significant economic disruption across the country.
President de la Espriella stated that the suspension is necessary to provide immediate relief to Colombian exporters struggling with the aftermath of the disaster. The move is intended to mitigate the economic consequences of the earthquake by easing trade burdens during the recovery period.
