Trump retaliates after Colombia rejects US military deportation flightpublished at 19:10

19:10Breaking

President Donald Trump says he has directed his administation to impose a raft of tariffs and sanctions on Colombia after it turned away US military flights carrying deported migrants.

On his social media platform Truth Social, the president wrote he was “just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia”.

The move “jeopardised” America’s national security, Trump said, writing that he had directed his administration to “immediately” retaliate with a host of measures, including:

  • Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the US

  • A travel ban and immediate visa revocations on Colombian government officials, and all allies and supporters

  • Visa sanctions on all party members, family members, and supporters of the Colombian government.

“These measures are just the beginning,” Trump wrote.

I hope all countries do this and isolate USA. Then the idiots that voted him in again might learn about the consequences of their decisions

Cue a load of MAGA complaints about why coffee is so expensive now…must be at least half of Colombia’s legal exports to the US

I wonder if any Colombians might know any illegal trade routes into America to get around tariffs?

Often wondered this. If Trump is deporting people. Where are they going? The other side have accept them.

Its hilariously funny they couldn’t figure that out on their own.

If only. It would ensure that the MAGA nut jobs would never reach the White House again.

Sadly, it’ll never happen.

Only a few days in and the orange child is getting more childish by the hour it seems.Gets call upset with Columbia,the second country to knock his flights back so he whacks 25 % tariff in Columbian exports to the US,that will make the coffee drinkers in the US,I believe there are a few, over the fucking moon wont it?
Sure he saw the word Tariffs and thought “I’ll use that”.problem of course he seems to have no idea of who eventually pays his bloody tariffs.

Anecdotally, Mrs ROTW tells me that the eggs she just bought were 4-5 times the normal price. I shall be having a gold plated omelette soon!

And thanks Trump, you buffoon. You said prices would come down on your watch!

That’s total provocation, and further nurturing for a future civil war imo. Incredible.

In a sense, I’m almost hoping for a split-up of the US*, because at least, they’d leave the rest of the world alone while turning their aggressivity on themselves.

*Of course, I’m not really hoping for it, as it would be a shitshow to no end, and a cause of suffering for too many people. Isn’t there a way out of this nightmare? :see_no_evil:
