This set off a furious back and forth with Trump, who in turn announced a barrage of tariffs and sanctions targeting the country, which has long been a top US ally in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said on social media that the United States would immediately impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Colombian imports and would raise them to 50 per cent after a week. The Trump administration would also \u201cfully impose\u201d banking and financial sanctions on Colombia, apply a travel ban on Colombian government officials and their associates, and revoke their visas, the president said.<\/p>\n<p>Petro hit back on social media. In one post, he announced retaliatory tariffs of\u00a025 per cent on US imports to Colombia; in another, longer post, he said those tariffs would hit 50 per cent.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 3,690 Nigerians in the United States are faced with deportation as Donald Trump begins a crackdown on illegal immigrants in the country.
