President Donald Trump said on Sunday night he would raise tariffs on Colombia and stop all payments to the South American nation, escalating a feud that stems from the US military’s strikes on vessels allegedly transporting drugs in the region. Earlier in the day, Trump called Colombian President Gustavo Petro an “illegal drug leader,” while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said US forces had attacked a vessel associated with a Colombian rebel group.
