Colombia

The song ‘+57’ generated controversy in Colombia when it was released last year, with organizations that defend the rights of children quickly calling for its removal.

The initiative aims to eradicate 25,000 hectares of coca bushes within 140 days while maintaining military operations against rebel groups in the northeast that profit from the drug trade.

Apart from the Colombian tariffs threatened by US president Donald Trump, coffee prices have also been hit by poor harvests in Brazil which is one of the commodities main producers.

During a six-hour government meeting that was broadcast live, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said legalised cocaine could be “sold like wine”.

Colombia’s president had refused the flights carrying deported migrants from the US to Colombia, accusing Trump of not treating the migrants with “dignity.”
