   • 2025 January 27, David Charter, “Fafo diplomacy: How Colombia found out Trump meant business”, in The Times‎^[1], archived from the original on 27 January 2025:

     Fafo works with small trading nations such as Colombia because US markets could quickly adapt to the greater expense of its coffee, flowers and other exports. There will be a different order of chaos, though, if Trump follows through on tariffs on the EU (17 per cent of US imports), Mexico (15 per cent), China (14 per cent) or Canada (12 per cent).
