Colombia’s Earthquake Crisis and Trump Aid | Jamaica News
Description
Colombia’s new president is racing against time to rebuild after a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake, which has killed nearly 300 and left thousands missing or injured. With the hardest-hit areas along the Pacific coast in ruins, he’s turned to his ally, Donald Trump, thanking him for $26.5 million in emergency aid — but asking for more: a temporary tariff suspension to help Colombian businesses survive the economic shock. The quake struck Colombia’s poorest region, Choco, amplifying the crisis. While relief efforts are underway, no word yet from Washington on the tariff request as the nation braces for a long, painful recovery.
