President Trump retaliates against Colombia for blocking U.S. deportation flights by imposing tariffs on Colombian imports, a travel ban, and visa revocations targeting Colombian government officials and their associates. The measures also include heightened customs inspections for travelers and cargo from Colombia.
President Trump on Sunday pledged swift and severe retaliation after the Colombia n government blocked U.S. deportation flights over the weekend, objecting to the Trump administration’s use of military planes to carry out migrant deportations.
“I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people.
Two U.S. officials told CBS News there were two Department of Defense planes with migrant deportees expected to land in Colombia on Sunday, after departing the San Diego area near the southern border. But those plans were scrapped overnight. X was swift to react with Governor Ron DeSantis and White House Press Secretary Karoline Levaitt calling out leaders in a warning:These decisive actions show that Trump is prepared to escalate the standoff, making it clear that any resistance to his administration’s immigration policies will come at a significant cost. It is a stark change from Biden’s weak White House.
It appears the Colombian president may now be backing down. He is offering his own presidential plane to be used for the deportations that were rejected this morning – saying he wants a “dignified” return of Colombian citizens.He has got to make an example of them so other foreign nations will understand Trump is not messing around.What you say is true. And I agree entirely with these sanctions.
