#Trump said #US financial #aid to #Colombia would be cut off & details about the new #tariffs would be unveiled Monday, but it was not clear what funding Trump was referring to.

Colombia was once among the largest recipients of US aid in the Western Hemisphere, but the flow of money was suddenly curtailed this year by the shuttering of #USAID, the US govt's #humanitarian arm.

Colombia currently pays 10% tariffs on most imports to the US, the baseline level Trump imposed on many countries.

"Daniel Garcia-Pena, #Ambassador of #Colombia in the United States of America, has been recalled for consultations by President Gustavo #Petro & is now in Bogota," the Colombian foreign ministry said. "In the coming hours the national government will inform of the decisions taken."

#Colombia recalls ambassador from the #US amid tariff, drug spat

Colombia's foreign ministry said early on Monday the country has recalled its #ambassador from the #UnitedStates, after #Trump said he would raise #tariffs on Colombia & stop all #aid payments to the South American nation, in a feud that stems from the US #military bombing boats Trump claims are transporting drugs.

#Trump also called #Colombia President Gustavo #Petro an "illegal drug leader" on Sunday, an accusation Petro's govt said was offensive.

Trump's drug dealer comments marked a new low in relations between Washington & Bogota…

Petro has objected to the #US military's strikes against vessels in the #Caribbean, which have #killed dozens of people & inflamed tensions in the region. Many #legal experts & #HumanRights activists have also condemned the #military actions.

#Petro, who can be as vocal on social media as his American counterpart, rejected Trump’s accusations & defended his work to fight narcotics in #Colombia, the world’s largest exporter of cocaine.

“Trying to promote peace in Colombia is not being a drug trafficker,” Petro wrote. He suggested that #Trump was being deceived by his advisers, described himself as “the main enemy” of drugs in his country & said Trump was being “rude & ignorant toward Colombia.”

In a social media post, #Trump referred to #Petro as “an illegal drug leader” who is “low rated & very unpopular.” Trump warned that Petro “better close up” drug operations “or the United States will close them up for him, & it won’t be done nicely.”

Later in the day, Trump told reporters that #Colombia has “no fight against drugs” & “they are a drug manufacturing machine” with “a lunatic” for a president. He said that he would announce new #tariffs Monday.

Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth also announced the latest US strike on a vessel that was allegedly carrying “substantial amounts of narcotics.”

He said the vessel was associated with a Colombian rebel group — the National Liberation Army, or #ELN — that has been in conflict with #Petro’s government. He did NOT provide any evidence for his assertions, but he shared a brief video clip of a boat engulfed in flames after an explosion on Friday.

#MarcoRubio promised to betray #US #informants to get #Trump the #ElSalvador prison #CECOT for #deportations
To secure Washington’s access to El Salvador’s most notorious prison, the secretary of state made an extraordinary offer to President Nayib Bukele.

For #Bukele, a return of the informants was …a key step in hindering an ongoing US investigation into his government’s relationship with #MS13, a gang famous for displays of excessive violence in the #UnitedStates & elsewhere.

But in promising to terminate the #informants’ arrangements, current & fmr #DOJ ofcls say #Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by US law enforcement to apprehend & secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of one of the world’s most deadly gangs.

“The deal is a deep betrayal of US law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members,” said Douglas Farah, a US contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate & help dismantle the #MS13 gang.

Nixing the agreements also threatens to damage the credibility of the #DOJ, which routinely relies on #informants to build cases against high-level criminals, ofcls said.

While the outlines of the quid pro quo have been public for months, the #Trump admin’s willingness to renege on secret arrangements made with #informants who had aided #US investigations has not been previously reported.

…The deal would give #Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged *deals* his govt made with #MS13 to help achieve #ElSalvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said.

To #deport them to #ElSalvador, AG #PamBondi would need to terminate the #DOJ’s arrangements with those men, #MarcoRubio said. He assured #Bukele that Bondi would complete that process & Washington would hand over the MS-13 leaders.

Rubio’s extraordinary pledge illustrates the extent to which the #Trump admin was willing to meet Bukele’s demands as it negotiated what would become one of the signature agreements of Trump’s early months in office.

In the days before the #Trump admin deported hundreds of #Venezuelan immigrants to #CECOT, a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, the president of that country demanded something: the return of 9 MS13 gang leaders in US custody. Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “ #informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.

But the workers responsible for carrying out #Trump’s plans for more #FossilFuels & less #wind & #solar power are still hard at work. Some are approving permits for companies that want to extract #metals, #coal, #oil & #gas from #PublicLands & federal #waters.

On Thursday the Bureau of Land Management approved the expansion of a copper #mine on #PublicLands in #Utah. Earlier this week the #Interior Dept prepared to open >250,000 acres of land in #Wyoming & #Nebraska to #oil #drilling, & held a #coal lease sale for access to #Montana’s Powder River Basin. And at the #EPA, employees are finalizing a plan to allow more #mercury #emissions from coal plants, acc/to 2 people familiar with the work underway.
