Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella has requested that U.S. President Donald Trump suspend tariffs to support recovery efforts following a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake. The disaster killed at least 289 people and injured nearly 4,000. De la Espriella, who took office earlier this month with Trump's backing, confirmed via X that he spoke with the U.S. leader to thank him for the aid already sent to the South American nation after the powerful quake struck.
