In response to Colombian President Gustavo Petro's refusal to accept U.S. deportation flights without ensuring humane treatment for repatriated migrants, President Trump announced stringent tariffs and visa restrictions on Colombia. Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all Colombian goods and implemented visa sanctions on Colombian officials and their supporters. He emphasized that these measures are just the beginning, reflecting ongoing tensions regarding the treatment of migrants and the diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
Petro's refusal to accept the deportation flights could complicate Trump's promises of mass deportations in the early days of his administration.
Trump retaliated by announcing 25 percent tariffs on all Colombian goods, a travel ban, and visa restrictions for Colombian officials in response to Petro's demands.
