President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States would impose wide-ranging sanctions and impose tariffs against Colombia over its refusal to accept U.S. military aircraft with migrants being deported.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the United States would slap emergency 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods coming into the United States and would raise that to 50% in one week.

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. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:
-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.
-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.
-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.
These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!

“ Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.”
I wonder how much coke they’ll find.

As a conciliatory gesture, we should meet Columbia halfway… by dropping the illegals into the Gulf of America.
Ruh-roh
Every country bows down to the Federal reserve for all Banking because of our being the World Currency. 10 seconds and ALL THEIR BANKING CAN BE STOPPED COLD NATIONWIDE
Recall the ambassador and and halt all commercial flights to and from Columbia while your at it.
They must be some pretty nasty people for their own country to not want them back.
Nice test case for the rest of the world not immediately at our Northern or Southern border..
District of Columbia may be in danger of a name change, btw..
THIS is how you issue a “strongly worded letter of rebuke”
Colombia getting the Beast mode Trump FAFO treatment.
I love it!!
Check out “DC” on Google maps.
You see DC?
I don’t google, I try to stay away from it ,at least as search engine..
But by your note, did they erase it and just go with Washington?
Yes.
What is the difference between a wolf and a sheep dog? I see a sheep dog.

The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheep dog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours.
Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn’t tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports in camouflage fatigues holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, “Baa.”
Interesting!
Thanks for that
