Trump imposes harsh sanctions on Colombia for not accepting "repatriation" flights

The number of people here misspelling Colombia…

If they won't take them, maybe we could put all these Columbians in some sort of District. A District of Columbia filled with criminals. Wait, we already have that.

Man, I’d love to meet the man, just so I could tell him to fuck off and die.

You missed the point where the people were cuffed the whole flight, were dehydrated and transported in military planes like cattle. That's why those planes were rejected.

The president send his own jet to get these people back because they are people not cattle.

Well, there goes Colombian coffee and bananas!

Cool, more tariffs to punish…us?

Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!

He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.

Viva Colombia

I like how his statement paints not accepting refugees as a negative action

illegal Criminals

Maybe the US should take back the US members of ISIS that have been left (along with the people from the other nations that joined ISIS) for the Kurds to keep.

Look, I know that immigration is a contentious issue, but sanctioning a country for not repatriating its citizens is a disproportionate response. Trump and Co. are really obsessed with immigration to even do this. It says a lot what values they have.

Getting married to a Colombian woman as an America. Is this going to hinder her from getting a marriage visa and coming to America with me?

Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.

Love it.

Columbia no like they president?

It would be a good idea that Mexico, Columbia and other latin countries promote the Trump Wall, but expelling all US residents in their countries. A wall always works in both directions.

So his default for Canada is this energy measure?

Go fuck your self trump.

Sanctions not going through Congress, it's insane that's considered constitutional

Clown gonna clown

New article say Columbia let planes in. Short no.

Ho ho ho. Trump does not hold the cards here. Colombia DNGAF. But Trump does, and he's digging that hole as fast as he can.

Even after all these years, I physically cringe every time I read "ReTruths"

To be clear, Colombia already backed down and accepted all the demands. Which is unfortunate but not surprising. Starting to get "Just give Hitler what he wants and he'll stop" vibes. Surprised folks didn't learn their lesson...
