Trump announces tariffs and an end to U.S. aid to Colombia : NPR

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will cut aid to Colombia and impose tariffs, accusing President Gustavo Petro of failing to curb drug production. He vowed to detail tariffs Monday, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a strike on an alleged ELN vessel. Petro rejected the claims, denounced a U.S. strike he says killed a Colombian fisherman, and Bogotá called Trump’s stance a threat to sovereignty. With U.S. forces operating against cartels and seven recent strikes in the region, an analyst warned the rupture could damage a cornerstone alliance and weaken Colombia’s security efforts.
