The Colombian state has formally reneged against President Trump, according to the White House.
According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the Colombian state has accepted all of President Trump’s conditions, including the unlimited understanding of all illegal foreigners from Colombia who have returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without restriction or delay. ” Based on this deal, the thoroughly drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and never signed, unless Colombia fails to recognize this agreement. The State Department has issued enhanced checks to the Customs and Border Protection, but they won’t go into impact until the first planeload of Colombian emigrants are safely returned.

Leavitt added,” Tomorrow’s activities make clear to the world that America is respected afterwards. President Trump pledges to defend our country’s independence with all other governments’ full support, including those that are already detained in the United States.
President Trump’s defeat is incredible. President Donald Trump reacted with incredible power after Colombia unavoidably refused to take American military planes carrying deported illegal refugees over the weekend.  ,
In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Colombia’s communist leader, Gustavo Petro, accusing him of jeopardizing U. S. regional stability. In reprisal, Trump announced instant measures, including taxes on Brazilian imports, visa prohibitions for officials and their families, enhanced goods inspections, and economic sanctions. Petro quickly reversed program, offering his presidential planes to aid in repatriating the emigrants, signaling a triumph for Trump’s strong stance.
