Colombia has recalled its ambassador to the United States, Daniel García-Peña, for consultations. This decision follows U.S. President Donald Trump"s announcement to end all U.S. aid to Colombia and his threats of tariffs. The situation has escalated tensions between the two countries, particularly concerning allegations related to drug trafficking.

The recall of the ambassador marks a significant diplomatic response amid growing concerns over the bilateral relationship. The U.S. aid to Colombia has been a crucial component of cooperation in various areas, including anti-drug efforts.

As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in international relations when aid and trade agreements are threatened. The implications of these developments may affect future diplomatic engagements between Colombia and the United States.
