The victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump changes the political relationship between Colombia and the United States, since Colombian President Gustavo Petro has more ideological affinities with Kamala Harris' Democratic Party.
The National Association of Industrialists (ANDI), the largest business organization in Colombia, has called on the government of the coffee-producing country to rid itself of ideology that could affect economic and commercial relations with the United States once Donald Trump, the president-elect after the elections this past Tuesday, comes to power.
"It is time to propose very institutional ways of relating and above all stripped of ideology that could affect that relationship," said ANDI president Bruce Mac Master on his 'X' account this Wednesday.

In this context of a change of tenant in the White House, Colombian businessmen wanted to remind that the United States is Colombia's main trading partner, so a "correct relationship" between the two countries is necessary.
According to Mac Master, "many things depend on it," such as exports, economic activity, job creation. They also pointed out that the free trade agreement is the main guide for these relations.
