Colombia on Monday said its ambassador to the United States had been recalled, as a public feud between the nations’ leaders heats up with President Donald Trump revoking aid and threatening punishing tariffs.

Trump on Sunday vowed to end aid to the South American nation, a historically close US partner, accusing his leftist Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro of being an “illegal drug leader.”

He also said he would be announcing tariffs targeting Colombia on Monday.

The threats came as the United States announced it had struck another alleged drug-running vessel in international waters, killing three people.

The boat was affiliated with a Colombian armed group, the National Liberation Army (ELN), US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.

That strike came on the heels of another attack — on a semi-submersible vessel — that left two survivors, one of whom was Colombian.
