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.

The power of the purse.
Charge the Cartels and drug dealers that Tariff too.
Stock up on coffee. It’s grown in many places but this will give coffee makers a reason to raise the price.
District of Columbia deserves sanctions too.
Dang, Trump giving them hell.
Congratulations, Colombia, you just made yourself the example!
You can’t see or hear it,but I’m snickering in hound at your comment.
Well done
The District of Trump for the next four years.
Trump 2016: I’m a counter puncher.
Does that include tariffs on their street drug exports?
President Trump isn’t F-ing around with these tin-pot 3rd world communists ... and what he’s doing to Columbia will be an excellent example for other tin-pot 3rd world countries thinking about doing the same thing ...
" the United States should not treat Colombian migrants as criminals."....
Not happy his citizens transported on U.S. 'military' planes....would accept on domestic planes...(Dignity/repect issues...typical criminal response!)
Trump announces immediate retaliation against Colombia after socialist president turns back US deportation flights
DoC is on the Google Map at the border with Maryland.
Trump also has the statutory authority - under the Immigration and Nationality Act - to block all plane flights between the USA and Colombia, and to remove or deny entry to all persons traveling with Colombian passports or papers.
Columbia is messing around with the wrong guy. They are about to experience some significant economic pain — like never before as Trump is fond of saying.
Excellent. If Colombia still doesn’t cooperate, up the ante, Mr. President.

Very dangerous and violent ones at that.
Hmm....interesting it doesn’t show that until you zoom in/go to the border.
“Nice test case for the rest of the world not immediately at our Northern or Southern border.”

Yes, make Columbia the example of what’s in store for other uncooperative countries that think they can dump their trash in the U.S.
