LATEST UPDATE:

Trump pausing Colombia tariffs after migrants deal, White House says

• ⁠


“The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay. Based on this agreement, the fully drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement.”

”The visa sanctions issued by the State Department, and enhanced inspections from Customs and Border Protection, will remain in effect until the first planeload of Colombian deportees is successfully returned.”

”Today’s events make clear to the world that America is respected again. President Trump will continue to fiercely protect our nation’s sovereignty, and he expects all other nations of the world to fully cooperate in accepting the deportation of their citizens illegally present in the United States.”

So flights to Colombia can continue just as they were happening during the Biden administration.

Not quite the same. Colombian president was upset because they are being treated like criminals and handcuffed with Trump. That was his protest. Other than that same as Biden except Trump is doing everything he can to make it a spectacular show.

Not quite the same. Colombia was turning planes back, not anymore. Colombia actually offering to send their own planes to take people back.

Colombia was turning planes back because Trump was making an inhumane and unnecessary show of being a d!ck. Now that Trump can send flights like a normal person everything is as it was.

If Trump keeps insisting on behaving like a dick, he will be driving Colombia, Mexico and other countries right into the arms of China, BRICS, et cetera.

You all keep saying this and yet I think those countries take a hard long look at what happened/is happening in African countries that have done the same and will think twice.

He should be using commercial flights. He’s wasting money for the spectacle of it.

+1. Just like someone at State is having to smooth things over with Brazil so trade wars aren’t happening in Trump’s first weeks in office. Trump and his team can bluster all they want. What was learned here today is that other countries will buck back.

Really? I think the opposite. Petro learned very quickly that having a public hissy fit was not good policy for Colombia. Impulsively using social media to make some nonsensical complaint and forbidding the US from returning illegal Colombian citizens was embarrassing for Colombia. If Latin Americans want to call Trump a bad gringo and use that tired trope, Trump will play along and force Latin American countries to follow through. If Colombia and Brazil want an immediate trade war, this administration will oblige. There is nothing wrong with the US using C-130s to repatriate illegal migrants. Trump has the high ground here. It's no surprise that Colombia changed its mind very quickly once the consequences became clear. Saner government officials presumably got Petro to walk away from the keyboard before his dumbass social media outbursts caused more problems.

Ok so half the country sees USA getting points, half the country sees Columbia getting points, and Columbia migrants continue being regularly deported as they have been and will be.

On we go.

Do you believe there were not calmer and saner individuals on the U.S. helping smooth things out? Because if so I have a bridge I want to sell you.

By returning illegal migrants back to their home countries?

Maybe we should have secured our border and not let them in the first place?

Um... I think you conveniently ignore the part that Colombia will accept their citizens back even coming from US military aircrafts, so not the same dear.

I am seeing some reports that Colombia’s take on the agreement is quite different. I guess we will see.

But if you think it’s a flex that we are sending humans, who came here desperately seeking a better life, to Colombia in shackles and on an expensive military cargo plane, with no documentation proving where they are from, then go off.

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.

Will their govt pay for it?

What in the world do you mean will their govt pay for it?
They sent letting the plans land. Do you not read or comprehend?
