Ecuador to hit Colombia with 100% tariffs as dispute intensifies
Ecuador announces 100% tariffs on Colombian imports amid escalating diplomatic tensions.
Ecuador has announced it will impose 100% tariffs on imports from Colombia starting in May, significantly escalating a growing diplomatic dispute between the two South American neighbors. The move follows Quito's recall of its ambassador from Bogota for consultations after Colombian President Gustavo Petro publicly referred to a jailed former Ecuadorian vice president as a "political prisoner". Analysts warn this trade retaliation could trigger a broader trade war and destabilize regional economic cooperation.
