President Donald Trump announced on Sunday in retaliation tax in Colombia following Colombia’s statement that it had prevented the U.S. military remittance. This is the first example that President Trump has tried to follow the large amount of repatriation to other countries using economic pressure since last week.
Prior to this, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro announced that it had stopped two US military aircraft carrying immigrants to the country, and urged the United States to establish a better procedure for immigration. Peter has also opened the door to the acceptance of the transfer immigration on a private aircraft.
After Petro’s announcement, President Trump criticized Peter in social media, a series of Colombia, including 25 % tariffs on all imports from the country, “ban on travel” by Colombian people, and cancellation of Colombian visa. New sanctions and policies. “All allies and supporters” with US officials.
President Trump has also strengthened its inspection of cargo arriving from Colombia, and also ordered banks, financial sanctions and visa sanctions for “all members, families, and supporters of the Colombian government.”
“These measures are just the beginning. We do not allow the Colombian government to violate the legal obligations on the acceptance and repatriation of criminals forced to the United States!” Mr. Trump is here. I wrote it.
According to government officials, the Trump administration was surprised by the rejected military flights to Colombia. According to CNN’s scrutiny, Colombian authorities approved two flights before taking off, but these plans were suddenly abolished and Trump officials were dissatisfied. Discussions between the United States and Colombian officials are still ongoing.
CNN asked the Colombian government for comments.
Colombia’s response to the rejection of the returned population has been the first major collision with other countries over immigration issues since President Trump began his second term.
“I can’t openly rebel in that way,” said Trump’s government officials. “We intend to inform the world that we cannot escape from a serious and deceptive attitude.”
Late Sunday, Peter did not make any details, but called on the United States, who is staying illegally in Colombia, to “normalize” staying. “The desired Americans can stay in Colombia. I believe in human freedom,” he wrote on X and added as follows. Petro also said that it provided a presidential aircraft to support the forced repatriors from the United States on Sunday morning.
Last week, the United States recently started using military aircraft to repatriate the country of border to the country of origin. On Thursday, the United States returned immigrants to Guatemala using military aircraft.
The United States has also called for the support of Mexico to send its own people to its homeland via a land port of land along the border between the United States and Mexico, but Mexico seems to have returned to the military aircraft last week.
Colombia is not a major trading partner with the United States, but has shipped about $ 14 billion in 2023, according to the latest year -end data by the authority of trade data, Com Trade Comb. Most of Colombia’s exports to the United States were minerals, petroleum, metal, and coffee.
Coffee prices have soared in the past year, and the Trump administration’s measures may eventually become more expensive for US consumers. Imports often pay tariffs and pass on the price increase to consumers.
Credzzles can be an effective negotiating means, but economists generally believe that tariffs can cause inflation, cause trade wars and to rise further. However, it is not a universal view. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, said to CNBC recently, if tariffs have been useful for national security and cause some inflation, people should “overcome it.” Ta.
However, President Trump promised that if other nations were not manufactured in the United States, they would impose full tariff this week. These tariffs can dramatically increase prices for American people.
