De la Espriella asks Trump to suspend tariffs on Colombia to facilitate recovery after the earthquake

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella requested that U.S. President Donald Trump temporarily suspend tariffs on Colombian goods. The request, made during a telephone conversation on Saturday, aims to provide economic relief to local businesses following a recent earthquake in Colombia.

The proposal is intended to facilitate the country's recovery efforts by easing the financial burden on the private sector. The suspension of these trade barriers is presented as a measure to support the nation's stability and economic resilience in the wake of the seismic event.
