Colombian President Asks Trump to Suspend Tariffs Due to Earthquake
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
BOGOTÁ, Colombia — Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has requested his ally, President Donald Trump, to suspend tariffs to assist the South American nation in recovering from a powerful earthquake that resulted in at least 289 fatalities. De la Espriella took office earlier this month, just days before the 7.4 magnitude quake struck. He received Trump's support in the closely contested Colombian presidential elections, which were decided in a runoff on June 21, and has sought to emphasize his ties with the U.S. leader. On Saturday night, De la Espriella posted on X that he had spoken with Trump and thanked him for the aid sent by the United States in response to the earthquake.
