Trump’s Columbia confrontation is warning all leaders

Donald Trump proposed his first international tariff dispute in less than a week when he served as president. The goal is not China, Mexico or Canada-his angry often theme-is Colombia, one of the closest ally in the United States.

Colombia’s crimes refused to allow two US flights to carry immigrants that were deported because they were military, not civilian transport aircraft. This seems enough to promote Trump to let go of the hammer.

Trump posted on his social media website: “We will not allow the Colombian government to violate the legal obligations of criminals forced to enter the United States.”

Trump said that in addition to the 25 % tariffs he will levy, the United States will travel to Columbia government officials and his allies and supporters and “immediately cancel the visa.”

In the first week of working, the US President seems to compare immigration administrative actions with trade measures. Even if the latter is a key campaign commitment, it is preferred. It seems to be going home to drive home. His first main announcement of tariffs is promulgating to punish a country that he thinks that he does not think it is enough to support the new hard -line immigration policy in the United States.

On the day when Trump did not show public appearances-reportedly reported that he had played golf at the Miamido resort in Miami-President in Columbia as an example.

He warned the American allies and opponents: If you do not cooperate with the United States, the consequences will be serious.

This is a huge challenge for Colombia, but this is also a test of the New Trump administration.

If his sanctions lead to higher prices of American consumers, American public targets? Are they willing to tolerate some economic pain to improve Trump’s immigration priority?

According to other products such as the US Department of Agriculture and bananas, crude oil, avocado and flowers, the United States imported about 27 % of coffee from Colombia. Coffee import value is nearly $ 20 billion (£ 1.6 billion).

Importers can transfer to other sources to avoid this, which will combat Columbia manufacturers by reducing key markets.

Gustavo, President of Colombian, responded quickly on Sunday afternoon and launched his revenge strike in the Word War.

Petro does not like Donald Trump, which is not a secret-he has seriously criticized his policies for immigrants and the environment in the past. That’s just mentioning.

In the long -term response to X, he said that Trump would “eliminate human beings due to greed” and accused US President of thinking that Columbians were “inferior and other races.”

Petro continued to describe himself as “stubborn” and said that although Trump could “develop a coup” in a way of “economic strength and arrogance”, he would fight back.

Petro does not seem to threaten its retaliatory tariffs, but also the most important thing is: “From today, Colombia opens his arms to the world with his arms open.”

Although Trump is unlikely to be threatened by Colombia, this should be worried that he wants to resolve the US president of immigration. His upcoming government officials have made it clear that the mission will need to be outside the Mexican border.

Trump’s chosen Secretary of State Christopher Landau has long believed that “cooperating with other countries to stop this migration process” must be “the global momentum of US foreign policy.” Sunday spitting may reduce the possibility of working together.

From India to China, tens of thousands of immigrants fall in South America and cross Colombia through the Darien Gap through Colombia. This is a key barrier to the north of the Panama-Columbia border. This is a dangerous journey that criminal gangs are usually promoted.

There is no doubt that the retaliation measures in the United States will make the Trump administration and Columbia’s cooperation to stop this model.

President Petro hinted at this point in response to Trump’s actions and pointed out that if the migration conversation was made through Darien, “illegal activities will increase.” These comments can be regarded as a threat of the veil of immigration on the way.

Petro said quickly that his country would not refuse to deport the country from the United States-just that they must accept “dignified treatment”. He even used the presidential aircraft as another way of transportation.

However, according to senior US officials, the BBC (BBC) American partner Columbia Broadcasting Corporation (CBS) talked about the background, which is not enough to avoid sanctions.

Despite this, although there is a high dramatic nature on Sunday, if it is proud and the nation’s pride is not hindered, it seems that there is indeed a way to gradually upgrade this sudden diplomatic deadlock.

But these tariffs are a test of will. Moreover, from the appearance, this is just Trump’s operation.
