Donald Trump announced that Colombia had retreated in a dispute over immigration flights, and claimed to be a forced external victory based on tariffs on Sundays and hard power.
The President earlier, the most obvious attempt to create a model of the country that crossed him and claim the rule in the Western Hemisphere, announced a quick and painful punishment, including a huge tariff on US allies. did.
The crisis is crisis when Colombian President Gustabo Peter hindered the U.S. military flight that hindered landing, with the purpose of praise one of Trump’s most famous campaigns. It broke out.
The US President has shown to his supporters how severe he is and has taken the opportunity to show the price to repatriation of immigrants to other countries in Latin America.
After a few hours of tension with Bogota, Colombia agreed to accept immigrants, including military aircraft, and said that tariffs would be suppressed until the transaction was carried out.
“Today’s events have revealed the world again that the United States is being respected again,” said Kalolin Livit, the White House’s press director. “President Trump will continue to protect our sovereignty, and he hopes that he will fully cooperate in accepting all the other countries in the world to accept illegal expulsion of citizens in the United States. Masu.”
Colombia’s Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately confirmed that the US expulsion has resumed. Petro’s reversal represents the power of the United States and the aggressive personal style of Trump. In addition, the threat of tariffs may not only be a traditional device in trade disputes, but also the government of administration that regards other countries, including many years of US allies, as a tool to threaten a widespread problem. 。
Nevertheless, Spats with Colombia reminded me of how Trump’s hard approach causes large -scale global confusion. The US President has already made the Canada and Mexico’s browbeten on border issues as a browbeten, trying to force Denmark to sell Greenland, and threatens the Panama Canal.
In the four years of such tactics, it may hurt our global relationships and strengthen their attitude toward Americans. Colombia’s conflict has attracted China’s attention, trying to increase the influence of Washington’s backyard. If Trump chooses constant conflicts that alienates major regional nations, it emphasizes the potential negative aspects of the United States.
Trump’s victory against Colombia concluded the first week of the presidential position. Meanwhile, he used his intimidation as a device, focused on the United States at home, and suddenly changed his overseas path.
For example, on Sunday, Trump’s new administration has begun a foreign expenditure in Chicago.
White House’s border emperors Tom Homan told the CNN Priscilla Alvarez Sunday that the new multi -appointment approach on immigration was the “Game Changer.”
“All the operations today were the government. President Trump made all the governments this issue,” he said. According to immigrants and customs execution, about 1,000 people were arrested for Sunday sweep.
This was another amazing example of a new president who fired more than 12 Watchdog officials on a major government agency and then waving an aggressive executive office.
This purge is part of the Trump attempt to rebuild the federal government in accordance with the long -standing conservative belief that the Republican president will always irritate when the federal government attempts to order elections.
However, since the inspector of the institution has reported waste, fraud, and abuse of Congress, this movement has been criticized by the Democratic Party as a sign of Trump’s respect for the government’s ethics. Even some Republican members complained that the President had to comply with the law by giving the parliament for 30 days.
“I think he should have done it,” said Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday CNN’s CNN.
However, the Republican member of South Carolina asked: yes. He won the election. What do you think he would do if he left everyone in Washington before he was elected? “Graham was added as follows. “I feel that the government is not very good for Americans.”
Trump hints that he is a transformed leader who shows energy and focus, and can focus quickly to promise an immigration campaign. Pete Hegces, an agent for his confusion in Pentagon, was sworn as the Secretary of Defense on Saturday, after Vice President JD Vans has filed a Senate vote to determine his controversy.
However, Trump has also taken measures to alleviate many swing voters who have returned him to power.
On January 6, 2021, his blanket pardon shocked many Republican members, including those who were convicted of violent crime. And his decision to deprive him of security details from a former assistant officer who criticized him, including a few threatened Iran, revealed his obsession with his political goals to the dissatisfaction of the past. I did.
Mr. Trump last week that voters are more interested in immigrants than expensive grocery prices. However, the Republican hope of sticking to the majority of the narrow lower house in the middle election next year may make a concrete economic progress.
This is particularly important for the President’s meeting with Republican Diet at Dral Golf Resort in southern Florida. The conference focuses on how to navigate his agenda, including tax reductions and funds for his massive expulsion program through Congress.
The attempted resistance from Colombia has created an immediate test for the new US President, which should be monitored throughout the region.
Trump’s first response was crushed. He ordered a 25 % immediate urgent tariff on Colombian products and rose to 50 % within a week. The United States also imposed a “ban on travel” to Colombian citizens and canceled his visa for Colombian officials.
Trump warns about the true society: “These measures are just the beginning. The Colombian government does not allow the legal obligations of the acceptance of criminals that they have imposed on the United States!”
But Peter had his own reaction in X: “Trump, I don’t really like traveling to the United States, that’s a little boring.” He was a race, and I was not a Colombian. ”
Ryan Berg, the director of the American continental program at the Strategic International Research Center, said that Petro might have a reason to choose an early battle with Trump. Burg has added that Peter may think, “It will be profitable because he will be in line with the United States and fight for Latin American dignity.”
Nevertheless, 50 % of Colombia from the United States, the largest trading partner, could be miserable. A few hours before the announcement of the White House, which appeared in Colombia, Burg predicted that Colombia had to be quietly agreed with Trump. “If they can survive everything else, 50 % of tariffs and Trump, they are trying to survive, they want rude awakening. Banks, investments, and all others. He said. ”
Maria Claudia Lacture, the head of the Columbo America Chamber of Commerce, wrote on X that 25 % of US tariffs were immediate and devastated. “We will overcome this serious crisis in the shortest time in the shortest time, in the shortest time in search of sane, dialogue, and common sense. I am.
According to US trade representatives, trade between US products and Colombia was $ 53.5 billion in 2022. This is just a small part of the commercial relationship between the United States with top partners such as Canada and China. Nevertheless, the long -term trade war with Colombia had one concrete impact. If the price of the eggs has already risen, making breakfast in the United States more expensive is coffee, which is the price of major Colombia exports.
Trump’s Petro’s pounding is the most important play in his administration in Latin America.
Late this week, Marco Rubio’s new secretary -general will visit Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Dominica.
In a wider way, for the next four years, the influence of Latin America may strengthen geopolitical contests between the United States and China. Trump has already been alienated Panama by mistakenly claiming that the Beijing has dominated the Panama Canal, and threatens to regain the sovereign of waterways between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Therefore, it was not a coincidence that Colombia in China chose Sunday afternoon when he flew between Trump and Petro on Sunday afternoon. 45 years of “best moment”.
And the reality that other areas of the world have the right to speak -but actively shakes power -that he “cleans” the devastated Gaza in the war and sends refugees to Jordan. Following his weekend’s proposal, Egypt may complicate the ambitious plan of reconstruction of the Middle East. These ideas are accepted to the far right of Israel, but they are surprising for major US allies and can take their top goals.
According to the two sources, the ICE field office has begun a new multipurpose immigration business in Chicago, as the ICE field office has been quested to meet 75 arrests per day from the new administration.
The Trump team told the Federal Prosecutor last week to investigate democratic operating cities and states, such as deer and Illinois, when they resist new immigration efforts. This increases the possibility that large -scale expulsions can cause the most serious collision between the federal, state, and regional power.
The Illinois Democratic Party’s JB Pritzker said in the “Allied state,” he has questioned the government’s goal of exposing violent criminals, but has questioned the administration approach.
“If they are picking up, we’re all for that,” said Pretzker. But he added: “They comply with the law, keep their work down, and have been here for 10 or 20 years.”
It is not yet seen if it will backfire politically.
After meeting with the Republican Republican member on Monday, the president returns to Washington, as a small number has significant meaning of Trump’s agenda. There, his desire to quickly integrate power shakes as busy as his first week in his second term in his second term.
