BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union rejected the election in Belarus on Sunday as illegitimate and threatened new sanctions. Belarus held an orchestrated vote virtually guaranteed to give 70-year-old autocratic President Alexander Lukashenko yet another term on top of his three decades in power.

Trump said the Colombia's refusal jeopardized U.S. national security. He imposed tariffs on incoming goods, sanctions on government officials, enhanced border inspections of Colombian nationals, and banking and financial sanctions.

Early voting took place from Jan. 21 to Jan. 25, during which 41.81% of voters participated, according to the Central Election Commission of Belarus. In addition to Alexander Lukashenko, four other candidates have been registered for the election.
