BOGOTA (Reuters) -A meeting on Monday night between Colombia President Gustavo Petro, U.S. charge d'affaires John McNamara and Colombia's recalled ambassador to the U.S. Daniel Garcia-Pena was a first step toward healing a bilateral impasse, Colombia's foreign ministry said early on Tuesday.
However, McNamara made clear that whether the U.S. imposes higher tariffs on Colombia, as threatened by President Donald Trump over the weekend, is Trump's exclusive decision, the ministry added in a statement.
