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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Why don't they (Colombia) pay for these flights then? THAT would be fair[/quote]  Yes, Colombia can accept US flights, or pay for the civilian flights, or they will be held in detention.[/quote]

They won’t care about their citizens in detention centers except to say the US is bad. If they say the US is bad, then fewer will leave Columbia. Not sure who’s winning at this game.

No one needs coffee, so no loss there. Luxury item.

Petroleum might be an issue but that is TBD.[/quote]

Fruit and vegetables are the big thing not coffee or oil.  Our winter supplies come from 3 places, Colombia, Peru and Mexico

Think of all the climates we will be saving by not having raspberries in January!

Totally cool with that trade. Bring it. [/quote]

F that.  I don't want to eat nothing but 3 month old apples and squash in winter [/quote]

We need innovative solutions to get food to table in season. Oranges, for example, are awful today. It would be great to get fresh food.[/quote]
