Trump Threatens Retaliation Against Colombia Over Migrant Rejection
President Donald Trump announced sweeping retaliatory measures against Colombia after the country turned away two U.S. military aircraft carrying deported migrants. On Truth Social, Trump detailed plans to impose 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods, escalating to 50% within a week, along with sanctions on Colombian officials and allies. The measures also include a travel ban, visa revocations, and enhanced border inspections for Colombian nationals and cargo. Colombia's president has condemned these actions, as Trump declared illegal immigration a national emergency earlier this week. The confrontation marks a significant escalation in Trump's immigration crackdown and trade policies.
