Truckers block roads in Chile protesting fuel price hikes

Truck drivers ​across Chile staged strikes ​and blockades on ‌Tuesday to ​protest sustained fuel priceincreases linked to global geopolitical volatility, disrupting traffic ‌along the country's key north-south highway and access to ports including Iquique. The stoppage was called by Chile's 'Confederacion ‌de Transportistas Fuerza del Norte' and the 'No+TAG' movement, which ‌expected to gather around 4,000 truckers, though the sector's two largest associations declined to join.
