Trump threatened 25% tariffs on all goods from Columbia going up to 50% next week.

Columbia suddenly accepted the two planes.

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.

+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.

Trump is the one who backed down and conceded.

Yup

No, you are a liar, axios , CNN and AP News all very liberal state that Colombia backs down after trump threatens to hit them with tarrifs.

Usa is respected again.

Yeah, we’re “respected” again because trump is sowing fear of devastating trade wars or invasion every time he tweets. His targets are much smaller countries. Fear is not respect. If you have children, I hope you know that.

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.

Why is using military aircraft important? It’s a lot more expensive.

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

You realize we can just choose a different coffee right? That’s the point, people won’t pay it, and they will suffer.

I was not aware coffee was a necessity.

Ok, you have to be a Russian troll to utter this

Not a troll, just someone that understands I have a choice in what to buy. I just looked at my coffee stash, no Colombian there, mostly Hawaiian.

Got it. You're a snooty rich lib nimby drinking $35 lb coffee.
