U.S.–Colombia Relations Plunge as Trump Announces Tariff Hike

                                   Trump called Colombian President Gustavo Petro an 'illegal drug leader'

Tensions between Washington and Bogotá have intensified after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Colombian exports, escalating a feud over drug trafficking. Speaking on Sunday, Trump accused Colombian President Gustavo Petro of being an “illegal drug leader” and declared that all U.S. payments to the South American nation would be halted.

The announcement followed U.S. military strikes on vessels allegedly transporting narcotics in the Caribbean, which Colombian officials condemned as violations of sovereignty. Petro’s government strongly rejected Trump’s accusations, calling them “false and offensive,” while warning that the measures could severely damage bilateral relations.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that U.S. forces had destroyed a boat linked to Colombian rebel groups, further fueling the dispute. Analysts warn that the breakdown in cooperation could undermine regional security and complicate joint efforts to combat drug trafficking.

With tariffs looming and aid suspended, the decades-long partnership between the two countries faces one of its most serious crises in recent history.
