Storyline: Although Colombia maintains a strong political and economic alliance with the United States in Latin America, concerns persist over the harm U.S. tariffs could inflict on its exports to its largest trading partner, sparking reactions from people across the country. These concerns have intensified following the U.S. announcement of a 10 percent tariff against Colombia, a decision made a week ago despite Colombia striking a deal in January to accept U.S. deportees in order to avoid tariffs as high as 50 percent. This tension is magnified by the fact that the United States is Colombia's biggest trading partner, accounting for 28 percent of Colombia's total exports. This economic reliance was a focal point as residents in Bogota shared their perspectives on the recently announced U.S. tariff. Colombia's government has downplayed the impact and has maintained a diplomatic tone with no reciprocal duties in the short term. Currently, industries are biding their time while assessing their next actions, as the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of agricultural producers are on the line. Any trade conflicts with Colombia's largest trading partner could ripple throughout the entire economy. Shotlist: FILE: Washington D.C., USA - Oct 2024: 1.
