Washington DC:
Until a week from the president, US President Donald Trump navigated a complex diplomatic curve and played a promised tariff card to delve into his “first American” policy. But his anger was not China, Mexico, or Canada (his frequent target), but not one of the nearest allies in South America.
Colombia fell into Trump’s fire after refusing to allow two American battles, which carry immigrants from the United States, to land in the United States. Gustavo Petro, the left -wing president of South America, said, “just regain the citizens with dignity with dignity,” said South America.
This was a trigger enough for the US President to drop the hammer and take a Colombian model. He responded by threatening a 25 % sanctions that rapidly expanded up to 50 % of the largest economy in Latin America. In addition to economic measures, Trump said that the United States would introduce the Colombian government, its allies and supporters, and to cancel immediately visa.
Petro initially tried to impose our products by attacking our products, but by the end of the unstable Sunday, he retreated. Columbia’s Foreign Minister Lewis Gilbert Murrillo said at a midnight press conference that he would accept citizens who had returned to the deadlock.
Message to Trump’s world
Since taking office, Trump has been seen as giving priority to crackdown on immigrants over trade measures. This is one of the promises of his important campaign. However, by publishing his first major tariff threats, Trump seems to be warning his allies and enemies as well. If they do not cooperate with his “first American” agenda, the result may be serious.
He took the opportunity to bring home the point that his actions protected American sovereignty and respecting the authority of the world.
After Colombia agreed to accept the unlimited acceptance of “all illegal aliens,” the White House said in a statement that “today’s events are being respected again in the United States.”
“President Trump will continue to protect our sovereignty, and he hopes to fully cooperate in accepting all the other countries in the world to accept illegal expulsion of citizens in the United States. The statement was added.
In the middle of the whole economy, Trump went ahead and shared his photos of the true social wearing a fedora hat along with the sign that read Fafo. The initials are widely associated with the phrase “F *** Around, Find Out”. This is often used as a warning that your actions can result in results.

Changes in global relationships
Even after retreating, Petro tells Donald Trump that he does not like his and migration policies. In a long reaction in X, he accused Trump stated that he would “wipe out human species for greed,” and that US President Colombians were “inferior races.”
He continued to describe himself as “stubborn”, and Trump said he could “execute a coup” with “economic strength and ROG pride,” but he would counterattack.
Every year, thousands of immigrants from all over the world have entered the United States after climbing Columbia, the key chamber point, just north of the Panama Columbia border. The US retaliation will definitely be difficult for Trump’s administration to cooperate with Colombia to stop this pattern.
President Peter pointed out that if the story was stopped about the management of the transition through Darien, he would “increase illegal acts,” and also implied in his response.
“From today, Colombia has been opened in the whole world and spreads his hands,” he said, which could be regarded as a threat wrapped in an immigrant veil that was more documented on the way.
Apart from Colombia’s tariff threats, the United States has witnessed diplomatic fallouts from other Latin American countries. Mexico has raised concerns about the use of military airplanes to export the country, but Brazil has expressed his concern about the treatment of immigrants who have been expelled abroad, and some of them handcage during flights from the United States. It is said to have been.
Trade threats can backfire
If Mr. Trump’s threat to tariffs, his sanctions may be more expensive for consumers in the United States. According to the US Ministry of Agriculture, the United States imports about 27 % of coffee from Colombia for about $ 2 billion. Other products such as bananas, crude oil, avocado, and flowers are imported.
Imports may move to other sources to avoid this. This will attack Colombian producers by reducing major markets and burdening the vulnerable world trade environment.
