Long truck lines at Colombia-Ecuador border as tariffs loom

IPIALES, Colombia: Hundreds of truck drivers waited for hours in miles-long lines to cross the border between Colombia and Ecuador as reciprocal tariffs loomed. Ecuador this month said it would impose 30 percent tariffs on dozens of products from Colombia, with Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa accusing his neighbor of not doing enough to combat drug trafficking along their shared border. Colombia responded with a matching tariff and said it was suspending energy sales to Ecuador. The reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect February 1.
