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]

The civilian deportations under Biden cost $9,000 per flight. The Trump military flights are costing $900,000.[/quote]

Colombia accepted 475 repatriation flights from the US. 120 last year. No tariff war was necessary [/quote]

Exactly!  This was running smoothly until trump decided to mess it up.  Now we all get to pay higher prices because of his performative bullshit.  And we further push South America toward china.  Next time you hear about china building bases in South America, this is why.[/quote]

Running smoothly? Lol! If it was running smoothly Trump would not have won.[/quote]

How many of the 475 flights during the Biden administration got turned back?[/quote]
