The currency, one of the most liquid currencies globally, was trading at 20.4630 units per dollar, down 1% compared to the London Stock Exchange Group (LON:LSEG) reference price on Friday.

Tariffs on the South American country are part of a series of actions announced by the U.S. president in retaliation for Bogota’s decision to reject two military planes carrying deported migrants.
