UPDATE 2: Petro is indeed not backing down. Colombia will impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from the US.

He also directs Colombia's foreign trade minister to explore other countries to export to, and promises to support local exporters hurt by US tariffs.

The trade wars have begun.
Tweet from Gustavo Petro: English translation: "The minister of foreign trade has ordered an increase in tariffs on US products to 25%. The ministry should help to direct our exports to all the world, other than the US. Our exports should be expanded. I invite all Colombian expatriate communities to be marketers of our products. American products whose price will rise within the national economy should be replaced with national production, and the government will help in this measure." Spanish original: Le ordenó al ministro de comercio exterior elevar los aranceles de importaciones desde los EEUU en un 25%. El ministerio debe ayudar a dirigir nuestra exportaciones a todo el mundo diferente a los EEUU. Nuestras exportaciones deben ampliarse. Invito a todas las comunidades colombianas extranjeras a ser comercializadoras de nuestros productos. Los productos norteamericanos cuyo precio subirá dentro de la economia nacional. Deben ser reemplazados por producción nacional, el gobierno ayudará en este propósito.
