  • US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was ordering tariffs, visa restrictions and other retaliatory measures to be taken against Colombia after its government rejected two flights carrying migrants.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs and visa restrictions on Colombia due to its failure to comply with deportation requests from the United States. This action was part of Trump's broader policy to enforce stricter immigration controls. The tariffs aim to economically pressure Colombia into cooperating more effectively with U.S. immigration enforcement, while the visa restrictions target Colombian officials and citizens involved in obstructing deportation processes. This move has sparked concerns about the potential negative impacts on bilateral relations, trade, and the Colombian economy, as well as criticism from various groups who argue that such measures could harm diplomatic ties and affect Colombian nationals in the U.S. The article also touches on the political motivations behind Trump's decision, suggesting it aligns with his administration's tough stance on immigration.
