Visa appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Colombia were canceled on Monday due to a dispute between President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro over deportation flights from the U.S. The cancellation affected dozens of Colombians who had appointments scheduled at the embassy in Bogota. The Colombian government's refusal to accept repatriation flights of Colombian nationals led to the cancellations.
Colombia's Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that a Colombian Air Force plane was dispatched to San Diego to pick up a group of Colombians who were on a deportation flight that was denied landing on Sunday morning. The incident highlighted the consequences countries may face if they oppose Trump's immigration policies.
