The U.S. will slash assistance to Colombia and enact tariffs on its exports because the country's leader, Gustavo Petro, "does nothing to stop" drug production, President Donald Trump said Sunday.

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced he was cutting all federal funding to Colombia amid a deepening row between the right-wing populist American leader and socialist President Gustavo Petro.

Colombia's foreign ministry said early on Monday the country has recalled its ambassador from the United States, after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would raise tariffs on Colombia and stop all payments to the South American nation,

President Gustavo Petro said a U.S. strike in the Caribbean had killed a fisherman. President Trump said he would cut aid and impose new tariffs on Colombian imports.

US President Donald Trump called Colombian President Gustavo Petro an "illegal drug leader" on Sunday and said payments to the South American nation would cease, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said US forces had attacked a vessel associated with a Colombian rebel group.
