Do Not Mess With Trump

Colombia refused to accept Colombian deportees.   1/27/25 BBC:

"A looming trade war between the US and Colombia appears to have been averted after the Colombian government agreed to allow US military flights carrying deported migrants to land in the Andean country.

"The spat erupted on Sunday when President Gustavo Petro barred two military planes carrying Colombians deported from the US from landing.

"The Trump administration responded by threatening to slap punitive tariffs on Colombian exports to the US.

"President Petro at first said Colombia would retaliate by imposing tariffs on US goods, but the White House later announced that Colombia had agreed to accept migrants - including those arriving on US military aircraft - "without limitation or delay"."

What makes this article especially interesting from the anti-Trump BBC:

"Petro responded on X with a long, rambling but ultimately defiant post in which he said he would match any US-imposed tariffs.

"Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world," he wrote."
