President Donald Trump knows how to play hard ball and get exactly what he wants. He is a businessman. That is why we need him running the country to put things back in order!
On Sunday, Colombia’s liberal government tried to deny deportation flights of their citizens from the United States. However, they quickly walked that decision back after Trump threatened sever penalties, including 25% tariffs.

Trending Politics reports:
Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced Sunday that the South American nation would not be accepting deportation flights carrying Colombian nationals who entered the United States illegally. The Colombian leader stated that “the United States can’t treat Colombian migrants like criminals.”
In an X post, Petro declared that he will “disallow the entry of US planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory,” adding that the U.S. “should establish a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.”
In response, President Trump announced that the United States would be imposing emergency 25 percent tariffs on all Colombian goods entering the United States, adding that this would increase to 50 percent if the situation was not rectified within a week. Trump also announced that visas would be suspended for Colombian government officials and their allies, while the U.S. visa counter at the U.S. embassy in Bogota would be closing.
Within ONE hour of Trump’s threat, the Colombian government had a change of heart and took back their initial comments.

“The Government of Colombia confirms its participation in the Extraordinary Assembly of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), scheduled for January 30. This meeting will be an opportunity to address strategic issues for the region, such as cooperation on migration, the protection of human rights, and the strengthening of relations among member countries,” Petro stated.
Smart move for them considering the country shipped nearly $14 BILLION in goods to the United States last year – including minerals, coffee, and fuel.
