They want them back so much, they sent the presidential plane.

BOOM:

Earlier Sunday, President Trump slapped Colombia with 25 percent tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S., and he issued a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on “Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters,” among other measures, after the South American country rejected two planes carrying migrants.
Petro previously said he will deny entry to the United States’s deportation flights as Trump’s immigration plan begins.



This is how it is done.

How what is done? You have no idea.

The president of Columbia responded within a couple hours to offer his own plane to return the migrants to Columbia.

As he should.

The libs on here are hysterical. Trump could cure cancer, and they'd fill the thread with "That Orange Doofus cured cancer in the worst way! What a joke. And he had to announce it at a press conference because he constantly needs the spotlight on himself. Anyone who uses his cure is a transphobic, xenophobic Nazi racist piece of shIT!"

That clown wants to get rid of Obamacare and can't even say what he would replace it with. Don't ever bring health into an argument over the concern your leader has for anyone but himself.

Sure, Trump could "cure cancer" by injecting bleach, and you redhats would all cow and croon over his medical prowess, while the rest of us pointed out that, like the cancer, the patients were all dead.

Even when the rare "win" occurs, Trump's "cures" have horrific side effects.

This is what leadership looks like.

You might want to try reading sometime. The Colombian president is sending his plane to Honduras, not the US, to pick up Colombians who were, for whatever reason, taken there. It’s not even clear that this is connected to Trump’s reaction to Colombia refusing the flights.

Exactly. He sent his plane to pick them up.

MAGA is so desperate to claim he “won”

This is an interesting development. Colombia said they wouldn’t take back their own citizens so Trump is enacting tariffs and other measures.

Personally, I think this is a great move. It is the responsibility of the host nation to repatriate their citizens. I do not understand why Colombia won’t welcome their own people back.

They don’t have any issues taking their migrants back. They are demanding they are returned on civilian flights like humans.

To me, that’s a fair ask.

Too bad so sad. Should have thought of that before you snuck in illegally.

They're human beings and theyre being treated like animals in aircraft meant for goods, not people. Regardless of your position, it's not too much to ask to have a compassionate deportation for these very scared people. People don't flee if they're safe and have everything they need.

Plenty of troops fly in those planes. Are they not humans in your mind.

Are those troops shackled and refused access to bathrooms you dolt? Also, I flew Space A and even in the best of circumstances...yeah.

The signaling here is very positive. Don't come. Or you are going home.

He’s curing cancer by not reporting it. Remember Covid in Florida?

Plenty of troops signed up for a military experience and aren't expecting accommodations civilians consider standard. You think they get in-flight snacks and a blanket?

A lot of people seem to believe we still live in 1992. China is now at military and economic parity with the US and eager to expand its overseas influence. It’s going to be much easier for administration to isolate country economically than they think. Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico won’t need much encouragement to throw their lot in with Xi and much of Europe may not be far behind.

Exactly. There have been no recent reports of cancer, covid, bird flu... Must be 'cause Trump cured them all!

He also directs Colombia's foreign trade minister to explore other countries to export to, and promises to support local exporters hurt by US tariffs.

The trade wars have begun.

So what?

Colombia exports about 27% of its goods to the US. The US exports about 1% of its goods to Colombia.

Tariff away.

After announcing 25% tariffs on US imports, Petro says "We have never refused to take migrants and we have made efforts to stop migration. ... But do not demand that I accept deportees from the US handcuffed and arriving on military flights. We are not anyone's colony."

The easy offramps seem gone.

If Trump cured cancer, we would be all super happy (i dont know if you have ever lost a family member to cancer, I did and guaranteed I would have kisses Trump’s a$$ he he had a cure, you are lucky if you cannot understand). But if Trump went on a big TV press conference saying that cancer is finally cured , a very beautiful cure like wr have never seen before, so we can all finally relax and that the detail will be out in a couple of weeks or something because big pharma is trying to block his wonderful cure snd so on, or that the cure is ivermectin and that it’s wonderful and again big pharma does not want people to know, we would say that he is a scammer.
He can deport people without making this mess, he wants the mess because he can go rant on Truth Social and look like a hero to his supporters, regardless of the actual number of deported people.

I lost my dad to cancer and I had stage 3 cancer myself.

Of course you would say he's a scammer. You people just can't help yourselves.
