So what?

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

Tariff away.

You really aren’t afraid of isolationism? PP is right that China is going to pick up the rope.

People go on to Amazon and go to Safeway and have NO IDEA how international trade, diplomacy, and economics work. They think America can just exist as an island unto itself and the rest of the world is beholden to us just because. It's mind boggling.

The move came after Trump hit the South American country with retaliatory measures in response to Petro's refusal to accept deportation flights. A former member of the M-19, which was a Marxist guerrilla terrorist group that killed hundreds, Petro caved in to Trump's demands with remarkable speed.

In a statement translated from Spanish, the Colombian government said the plane will help facilitate a "dignified return."


"The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights," the translated statement read.

Of course democrats will be super mad Trump was successful…they actively root against Trump because he isn’t a democrat.

You guys are so pathetic in your sycophancy.

He didn’t cave, he stood up to Trump

This is what leadership looks like.

+1 can’t believe that Columbia had more decency than the US right now. Truly sobering (and terrifying)

That's pretty racist

- Colombia: Deportations are fine, but don't use military planes.
- Trump: F*** YOU. 50% tariffs, visa bans, and sanctions.
- Colombia: If you're going to be that way, screw you too, 50% tariffs back at you, we're breaking up, and we'll see other people *coughChinacough*.

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.
