#RiskRewardRatio The Government of the United States has raised a new obstacle, currently insurmountable, in its trade relationship with Colombia. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday afternoon a 10% tariff on all Colombian products seeking to enter the market of the world's largest power. This is not a bilateral decision. The United States has targeted everyone. However, the Colombian tariff has been the lowest. In the case of China, for example, it has risen to 34%, and the rate has even reached 50%. All of this leaves the exports of the South American country facing a grayish outlook. This raises multiple questions about the legal security for investments outlined in the Free Trade Agreement that the two countries have maintained since 2012.
