Trump issuing ‘emergency 25% tariffs’ against Colombia after country turned back deportation flights

President Donald Trump is issuing tariffs on Colombia after two repatriation flights of undocumented migrants were not allowed to land in Colombia, according to a Sunday post from the president on his Truth Social network. It’s the first retaliatory action the Trump administration has taken against another country over immigration issues.

Trump said he enacted a 25% tariff on all goods coming into the US from Colombia, which will be raised to 50% in one week.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Sunday that he is halting US deportation flights, stating the US “can’t treat Colombian migrants like criminals.”

According to a flight tracker, two US military flights bound for Colombia were turned back overnight after Petro publicly declared that he was denying entry to American planes carrying Colombian migrants.

Trump condemned Petro’s actions as a threat to US national security and public safety, asserting that Colombia’s denial of the flights violated international obligations to accept criminals being repatriated.

The US is absolutely in the right on this one.

^ doesn't sound like that was the objection:

"Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Sunday that he is halting US deportation flights, stating the US “can’t treat Colombian migrants like criminals.”"

Yes we fucking can treat them like criminals; as a sovereign nation we have the right to determine how one can legally enter our country. This fucking cunt.

"Colombian president Gustavo Petro reportedly offered the use of his presidential plane to help repatriate deportees from the U.S. on Sunday, shortly after President Donald Trump threatened the country with retaliatory tariffs for having turned away two U.S. military aircraft carrying the deportees earlier in the day, according to CNN."

Yeah, it was basically making himself look a man of the people.

I gather he's slapped 50% tariff on American goods in relation.

China must be loving this - the US can blow up their entire trade network and China can move in.

Russia has fucked itself and forced Europe to focus on shoring up its eastern flank rather than pulling Africa, central Asia and the middle East into its orbit.

The US is burning its network of alliances and trade.

China inherits the future by default without even needing to fight.

It just has to be more steady and reliable than the US.

"Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US. It's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the Black neighborhoods of Washington, where I saw a fight in the US capital between Blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders in the electric chair, by the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country.

I don't like your oil, Trump. It's going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, with a glass of whiskey that I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me part of an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian.

So, if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die true to my principles, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next in Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next in Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't join me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels like Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which lives, before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom.

You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with White slavers. I shake hands with the White libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the Black and White farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.

They are the United States, and before them I kneel, before no one else.

Overthrow me, Mr. President, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia now stops looking north, it looks at the world. Our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood comes from the Black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, [before] of all America, and I take refuge in its African songs.

My land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never rule us. You're opposed to the warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, whose name is (Simon) Bolívar.

Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered.

I raise a flag and as (Jorge Eliecer) Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA.

Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and it will give its sweetness to you.

FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY.

I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same.

Let our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world."

the reporting was pretty bad... it wasn't about accepting them, just manner of how they were sent

however, after Trump's heaps of threats (went beyond tariffs), telenovela guy seems to have fully caved (+ has magats mocking him)

...so we'll just have a simmering hatred now from Colombians

A video showing Selena Gomez sobbing while saying “All my people are getting attacked” with an image of the Mexican flag appears to have been deleted from her social media page amid the new Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

The Instagram clip of the crying “Only Murders in the Building” star was reportedly posted Monday before being deleted.

In the video, Gomez was seen wiping away tears as her voice breaks.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand,” the 32-year-old Emmy Award-nominated actor said, with an image of the Mexican flag on the screen.

“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” Gomez added.

The video posted for Gomez’s more than 420 million followers on Instagram comes alongside President Trump’s ramped-up efforts on deportation and at the southern border. Last week, Trump ordered active-duty troops to the border to bolster federal, state and local law enforcers to deal with migrants whom he has described as “invading” the U.S.

Trump has also moved to halt refugee and migrant parole programs and has reportedly given immigration officers daily arrest quotas to meet. He sought to end birthright citizenship for children whose parents are in the country without legal status, but that executive order has been blocked by the courts.

In 2019, Gomez penned an op-ed for Time magazine reflecting on how many of her family members entered the United States from Mexico starting in the 1970s.

Immigration, she wrote in the piece, “goes beyond politics” and “is a human issue.”

After deleting her Monday video, she commented, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”
