Colombia’s President Abelardo de la Espriella has requested that US President Donald Trump temporarily suspend tariffs on Colombian goods in the wake of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that killed at least 289 people. De la Espriella, who took office earlier this month, made the request during a ten-minute phone conversation with Trump, which he described as “friendly.” The request aims to aid Colombia’s recovery efforts following the earthquake, which struck just days after de la Espriella assumed the presidency. Mercopress reports Colombia specifically asked Washington to suspend 12.5% tariffs.
The earthquake has presented immediate challenges for the newly inaugurated president. News outlets note de la Espriella received backing from Trump during Colombia’s recent election cycle. No right-leaning sources reported on the absence of right-leaning coverage of the story.
While the immediate impact of the earthquake is the focus, the tariff suspension request adds a layer of economic consideration to the recovery process.
