President Donald Trump has announced the imposition of tariffs on Colombia in response to the country's refusal to allow two repatriation flights of undocumented migrants to land. This marks the first retaliatory action by the new Trump administration against another country over immigration issues.
Trump stated that a 25% tariff will be placed on all goods entering the US, with plans to increase it to 50% within a week. Colombian President Gustavo Petro had earlier declared a halt to US military deportation flights, arguing that Colombian migrants should not be treated as criminals.
