Trump is such a masterclass. He said in 2024 - tariffs are not just an economic tool, but a diplomatic tool. They can be leveraged. We are leveraging them NOW.

“Losing face” can be huge in unstable countries.

True, but the presidente brought this heat on himself. He knew the flights were coming to his country and is just playing games.
President Trump has mentioned in regards to other countries, that they need us more than we need them!
“Since tariffs are so universally effective, it’s nearly treason that no other president has used them in 100 years.”
It’s been controlled opposition for 90+ years.
Someone suggested earlier that Trump had done more in a few days for America than Biden did in four years.
But the sad fact is that Trump has done more for America this week than Reagan and the Bushes did in 20 years.
I guess suggesting dumping them on their shores had an effect. 🤭
You are right. There’s a lot of obfuscation in that letter.
Trump should smack him with the tariffs anyway. Tell him, too late, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
THIS will go down in history as the moment all Latin America and ROW understands the game is OVER!
Anybody else want to play now?
Absolutely right.
Just who did Colombia think they are? Martha’s Vineyard?
Yep, the deal needs to be they accept return flights of BOTH el presidente’s plane AND our military planes.
Otherwise more tariffs.
The problem is not yet fixed. That letter contains a lot of BS.
Trump: “Does anyone here read S#ithole?”
Testing limits is all.
That didn’t take long...
Well, that was fast. 😁
Exactly right. If we wait for el presidente’s plane it will be manana y manana. Nothing but stalling and excuses.
Its on our terms, not his.
Now WHO woulda thunk THAT?
Smarten up and sit down when the President of the World is talking.
...and just for barking, send them that mouthy Haitian, too.
Nah. It’s all over now. Did you see the blistering long list of sanctions Trump was literally putting into place when the Columbian President caved within the hour?
Everyone now knows what await defiance: Pure and immediate impoveration.
