Colombian President Caves to Trump in Deportation Dispute
WORLD


President Donald Trump announced emergency 25% tariffs on Colombian imports after Colombia blocked US military deportation flights.
In response, Colombian President Gustavo Petro initially ordered a 25% tariff on US imports but later offered his presidential plane to assist with deportations, signaling a concession to Trump's economic pressure.
Trump's measures include increasing tariffs to 50% in a week, a travel ban for Colombian citizens, and revoking visas for Colombian officials and their supporters.
The situation has led to a significant diplomatic clash, with both nations imposing retaliatory measures and escalating tensions over immigration policies.
