I hope Colombia tells him to go do one!

There is nothing a government fears as much as public unrest over a bad economy. Ask William Tolbert and The French King Louis 🧐. Crippling measures from Trump will destabilise the Colombian economy to the point that the government might be overturned by the Colombian people.

I personally like what Donald Trump is doing, at least that should provoke every Country to develop their Own Countries, so your citizens don’t have to be running to USA or be at their mercy.

Donald Trump should carry on.

Does it matter, people are leaving their families and livelihood behind, that is enough humiliation on it's own, chaining them is crushing their dignity , and for your question I don't do illegality...

But u re supporting illegality.

Almiron:
You're seeing things from the view of a third-worlder. So it's understandable.

Am a USA citizen.. Not a nationalize citizen o. USA born..... I dey ground and I know how Trump policy is affecting people.....


They are rules and regulations that must be followed. They are check and balances . if those rules are not followed than USA is not better off than a 3rd world country

I trust Tinubu, Trump can never bully him like this !!!

Asiwaju will turn back any plane coming from the USA with repatriated Nigerians aboard.

TRUTH BE TOLD, COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT IS RIGHT TO DENY ENTRY, HOW ARE YOU SURE THEY ARE COLOMBIANS ?

SOME OF THEM LEFT COLOMBIA 10 YEARS AGO TO LIVE IN MEXICO, THEN CROSSED THE BORDER FROM MEXICO.

TRUMP SHOULD DEPORT THEM TO ANTARCTICA/SIBERIA SO THAT IT WILL DISCOURAGE OTHER INTENDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

you wan set Tinubu up

Between me and the president of Colombia,,who is hurt the more?
And what has the resulting turned into for everyone?
Am I the Colombian exporter one that is exporting to the united states

Ask the Colombians.

They had their way after all. The deportees have been identified and profiled approximately so they can now be transported home by the Colombian government.

The president of Colombia even offered his presidential aircraft to transport the deportees back to Colombia.

This is absurd!

Is it the Columbian government that failed to properly secure your borders (US) and allowed people to cross illegally?


I hope this guy doesn't lose the respect of US amongst the comity of Nations with this braggish approach.

Before reparation, diplomatic agreement ought to have been reached and binding on all involved. You can't just put people on the plane and calm they are my citizens and dump them on my soil.

This is act is bullish, and anti diplomacy.

US is bullying Denmark, fellow NATO Nation already. Brazil, and now Columbia is not having it too.

Withdrawn the US from an agency it created, WHO, and out of climate change agreement...and more to come.

The US may amass so much hates and resentments than ever recorded in the past decades.

The US may be isolated at best!

I don't understand, was it Americans that were deported to Columbia or Colombians?

Which way
Or the president buckled under threat of incoming economic doom
Or rather the presidency of Colombia got so much calls about the implication of his actions that he decided to solve his problems

The Colombian president made his point and USA will be more careful with deportation. They will engage the countries of destination effectively going forward.

With all these points of yours wisdom is still far from you. USA has the right to deport illegal migrants and Trump is the Chief in Command...
Colombia is not doing her citizens right by rejecting illegal emigrants, whatsoever, it's her citizens

Do you know that illegal migrants can be labelled as spy and jailed or killed?

Google what is "illegal migrants" before you argue

When a country starts rejecting its own citizens, just know that it is a useless and finished entity. Turning your citizens back to a country where they would be locked up in the worst prisons is animalistic display at its peak. Pukes on the head of the shameless Colombian president!

"I'm or I am" take note. I recently migrated to Trudeau's country. I have friends (US citizens) who are Trump supporters, and I also follow updates on X. Most conservatives and common-sense Americans are loving what he’s doing currently. It’s just the deranged leftists who are complaining and ranting.

Let us break it down
1.The Us sends deportees back to Colombia
2.The Colombian president rejected the deportees and sends them back to the US
3.The US blocks visa application to Colombia and imposes tarriffs on all Colombian exports to the Us literally cripple the Colombia economy
4.The Colombia personally sends his own presidential jets to pick up the same deportees from the Us inorder to undo the economic bomb


From the above summary which Latin America will want to try the Us

No, you deliberately missed an item that should be number 4:

The USA engaged Colombia government diplomatically on the need to return the deportees to Colombia and allowed Colombia to profile them.

That should be your number 4 before the item you have on number 4.

See CNN:

arrive in the country Sunday morning.

The US began using military aircraft to return recent border crossers back to their countries of origin last week. On Thursday, the US returned migrants to Guatemala using military planes.

White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday he expects military flights transporting deported migrants to continue daily, partly as a message to other nations.

The Department of Defense “has helped administrations before, but not at this level. So it’s a force multiplier, and it’s sending a strong signal to the world. Our border’s closed,” Homan told ABC News.

Trump issuing ‘emergency 25% tariffs’ against Colombia after country turned back deportation flights

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced retaliatory tariffs on Colombia after its president blocked US military deportation flights from landing, the first instance of Trump using economic pressure to force other nations to fall in line with his mass deportation plans since he took office last week.


Earlier in the day, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced he had blocked two US military flights carrying migrants heading toward the country and called on the United States to establish better protocols in its treatment of migrants. Petro also left the door open to receiving repatriated migrants traveling on civilian planes.

Following Petro’s announcement, Trump criticized him on social media while announcing a slate of new sanctions and policies targeting Colombia, including “emergency 25% tariffs” on all imports from the country that will be raised to 50% in a week, a “travel ban” for Colombian citizens, and a revocation of visas for Colombian officials in the US along with “all allies and supporters.”

Trump also ordered stricter inspections of cargo shipments arriving from Colombia, along with banking and finance sanctions and visa sanctions on “all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.”


“These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a Sunday statement that Colombian officials had approved two military flights carrying migrants to Colombia and then revoked the authorization once they were en route, as CNN reported earlier.

“Colombian President Petro had authorized flights and provided all needed authorizations and then canceled his authorization when the planes were in the air. As demonstrated by today’s actions, we are unwavering in our commitment to end illegal immigration and bolster America’s border security,” Rubio said in a statement.

CNN had previously reported Trump administration officials were surprised and frustrated when Petro said he was blocking US deportation flights from entering the country. Sources within the Colombian government were also caught by surprise by Petro’s post.


CNN has reached out to the Colombian government for comment.

Trump advances his agenda in opening days of presidency

Trump’s reaction to Colombia’s rejection of repatriated citizens marks the first major clash with another country over immigration issues since he began his second term.

“You can’t go out there and publicly defy us in that way,” a Trump administration official told CNN. “We’re going to make sure the world knows they can’t get away with being nonserious and deceptive.”


Later Sunday, Petro called on US citizens living in Colombia illegally to “regularize” their stay, without offering specifics. “American citizens who wish to do so can be in Colombia, I believe in human freedom,” he wrote on X, adding: “You will never see me burning a US flag or carrying out a raid to return handcuffed illegal immigrants to the US.” Petro also offered his presidential plane to help repatriate deportees from the US who were set to arrive in the country Sunday morning.

The US began using military aircraft to return recent border crossers back to their countries of origin last week. On Thursday, the US returned migrants to Guatemala using military planes.

White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday he expects military flights transporting deported migrants to continue daily, partly as a message to other nations.

The Department of Defense “has helped administrations before, but not at this level. So it’s a force multiplier, and it’s sending a strong signal to the world. Our border’s closed,” Homan told ABC News.


The US is also asking Mexico for help repatriating its nationals via land ports of entry along the US-Mexico border, though Mexico also appeared to turn around a military flight heading for the country last week.

Brazil joined Colombia on Sunday in condemning the Trump administration’s handling of repatriated migrants on deportation flights, denouncing the treatment of Brazilian nationals who arrived in the country Friday as “degrading.”

Brazilian authorities said they found 88 handcuffed deportees on a US flight headed to Belo Horizonte, Brazil, that landed in Manaus due to a “technical error.” Brazilian officials did not authorize the plane to continue on due to “the use of handcuffs and chains, the poor condition of the aircraft, with a faulty air conditioning system, among other problems,” and the migrants were transported to Manaus on a Brazilian Air Force flight.

Babangidapikin:
Don't worry wait till he start chaining Nigerians back before you speak

If Nigerians are there illegally and breaking laws,they should do just that and bring them back. What is good for columbia,is also good for Nigerians who cannot fix their countries but spoiling another person's own.

The million dollar question is, why didn't Trump give the same response to Mexico?

Mexico didn't allow planes land too. He didn't because Mexico is a strategic partner to the united states. A lot of American citizens live in Mexico. A lot of them vacation in Mexico. I have been there 4 times now on vacation. The Mexican people and the country as a whole plays a major role in the economy of the United States. There are a lot of manufacturing US companies operating out of Mexico.

Columbia on the other hand, does not have a real hand to bargain with. The Columbian president obviously made a mistake. What the government of columbia should have done was to inform the US that they will not accept non Columbians on the flight.

Trump is dumb as fvck. Sooner or later, he will tank the US economy.

He can impose tariffs on products from Columbia but what about Americans trying to sell their products to Columbia?

All the idiots who voted for this fool will sooner or later regret it.

Illegal criminals?are there legal criminals?certainly not all undocumented migrants are criminals,if Donald Trump was living in Nigeria are an offer to migrate to the US is opened,he will jump at it whether documented or not.

The economy is doing well? 😂

You must be living under a rock!

The only reason am responding to you is your smiley emoji. I wouldn’t have helped your ignorance further normally.

n 2022, the architect of the sanctions, Daleep Singh, predicted they would bring Russia's economy to its knees. But Russia's economy is predicted to grow over 3% this year, according to the International Monetary Fund – that's more than the U.S. and Europe.Oct 27, 2024. Very recent research. Now you can remove the rock from your eyes 🤣🤣🤣

That was 4D chess. He already knew what would happen if countries refused repatriation flights. They had this all planned out and ready to go, they were just waiting for the first svcker to try it.

This second administration is 100 times more prepared, focused, and determined to accomplish their agenda than they were the first time around.

Trump is about to find out countries do not give a *uck about him no more. After the sanctions what happens?Russia is one of the most sanctioned country on earth. Yet the economy is doing well. My prayers is that this baby President wouldn’t start WW3 cos is sanctions weapons aren’t going to be effective. And you know how bullies think once their perceived advantage isn’t working.

Trump would be impeached before it gets to WW3. If there is one thing Americans hate it is seeing their soldiers returning in body bags.
