US Imposes Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum Imports; Colombian Government Faces Resignations; China to List Green Bond in London

President Donald Trump has implemented a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. The tariffs affect all US imports of these metals, including those from key allies like Canada and Mexico. The measure aims to counter efforts by countries such as Russia and China to bypass existing duties. In Colombia, Interior Minister Juan Fernando Cristo resigned from his position to return to political activity ahead of the 2026 elections. This follows President Gustavo Petro's request for all cabinet members to submit their resignations. The Director of the Colombian Police, General William René Salamanca, also resigned amidst the government crisis. China plans to list its first sovereign green bond in London. The yuan-denominated bond aims to attract international investors and demonstrate China's commitment to green finance, particularly as the US shifts its climate policies.
