President Donald Trump announced emergency 25% tariffs on Colombian imports after Colombia blocked US military deportation flights.

In response, Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered a 25% tariff on US imports and criticized Trump's policies, calling for better protocols in the treatment of migrants.

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.
