Ecuador and Colombia triggered tariffs up to 100% on Friday, effectively halting trade at their shared border. The measures intensify a dispute over trade deficits and security that began with lower-level duties in February. Investors face disrupted supply chains for electricity and chemicals as cross-border truck traffic fell 97% on Friday.
