The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) has called for an "emergency" meeting of member states after the tariff standoff between the United States and Colombia on Sunday. "Migration" and "Latin American and Caribbean unity" are two of the three topics listed on the agenda, the other one being "Environment."

The meeting was called by Honduran President Xiomara Castro, the bloc's current holder of the rotational presidency. It will take place on Thursday morning, with Castro already confirming that Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who had requested the meeting amid the confrontation with the Trump administration, will take part in it.
