Colombia has withdrawn its ambassador to the United States in protest over President Donald Trump’s recent statements. The country’s decision follows comments from the U.S. president that threat to impose tariffs on Colombian goods while also criticizing Colombia’s approach to the drug‑trade problem.

Trump’s remarks, made on social media and in a televised address, warned the U.S. Commerce Department that it could impose a tariff on Colombian products if trade negotiations did not move quickly. He also referred to Colombia’s drug‑policy measures, suggesting the U.S. could review its aid when drugs continue to cross the border.

The Colombian government responded by recalling its ambassador in Washington as a diplomatic protest. In a statement, officials said the recall sends a clear message that the U.S. actions are unacceptable and need serious reconsideration. The move follows similar recalls by other nations after U.S. trade threats in recent months.

Colombia remains a key partner in the fight against drug trafficking, and the recall comes at a tense time in U.S. trade relations. While the ambassador remains in Washington, the Colombian embassy will handle day‑to‑day duties. The U.S. has yet to comment on how the recall will affect trade talks or aid programmes.
