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]

"Colombia's Petro condemned the practice on Sunday, suggesting it treated migrants like criminals. In a post on social media platform X, Petro said Colombia would welcome home deported migrants on civilian planes."
As for who pays:
1. the US does not pay when US citizens are repatriated, it's a 90 day loan that has to be paid back
2. Are you suggesting Colombia is supposed to require exit visas the way Saudi Arabia,  Russia, Belarus, and Qatar do? Or all the former Soviet bloc countries?

I'm suggesting that if he demands that his citizens get back a certain way, he should pay for it. It's not like the US can expect the deportees to pay back their flight cost once back in Colombia[/quote]
