NEW DELHI: Victor Hugo Echeverri Jaramillo, Ambassador of Colombia to India, on Thursday said that the reciprocal tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump have created opportunities for nations like India and Colombia to forge new alliances.
In an interview with IANS, Ambassador Jaramillo said, "We are facing challenges due to the tariff policies initiated during President Trump's time. Both India and Colombia have been affected by high tariffs. While this is undoubtedly a problem, it also presents opportunities for countries like ours to forge new alliances and explore differential tariff arrangements."
"This trade war won't last forever; it will eventually evolve. For now, though, it gives us a chance to identify new partners and strengthen cooperation, " he added.
