WASHINGTON/Bogota (Reuters) -Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would impose comprehensive reprisers on Colombia, including definitions and sanctions campaign.

Trump’s rapid action seemed to be aimed at providing an example of Colombia to two other countries of his challenge on deportation trips. He also showed a renewed willingness to use the power of the United States to force other countries to bend to his will.

Trump said that Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected the acceptance of US national security flights at risk and ordered his administration to abandon retaliatory measures.

It includes the imposition of an emergency tariff of 25 % on all goods coming to the United States, which will rise to 50 % in one week; Blocking travel and canceling the visa on the Colombian government officials and its allies; Imposing a treasury in complete emergency situations, banking penalties and financial penalties. He said he would also direct the border inspections reinforcing citizens and Colombian goods.

“These measures are just a beginning,” Trump wrote on the social truth. “We will not allow the Colombian government to violate its legal obligations regarding the acceptance of criminals who were forced into criminals to the United States!”

The US President for illegal Immigration announced a state of national emergency and imposed a comprehensive campaign since he took office on Monday, directing the American army to help border security, issue a wide ban on asylum and take steps to restrict citizenship for children born on the land of the United States.

Colombia’s refusal to accept flights is the second case of the Latin American nation, which rejects US military deportations.

Petro condemned this practice, indicating that she dealt with immigrants like criminals. In a post on the social media platform X, Petro said that Colombia will welcome the migrant home deported on civilian aircraft, saying they should be treated with dignity and respect.

“The United States cannot treat Colombian immigrants as criminals,” Petro wrote, noting that there are 15,660 Americans without a suitable migration situation in Colombia.

Mexico also rejected a request last week to allow an American military plane with immigrants.

The Foreign Ministry says the United States is the largest commercial partner and investment in Colombia, and Colombia is also the third largest trading partner in the United States in Latin America.

He did not face an American counterpart looking at Colombia through a strategic lens, as a major ally, but as a country to provide an example of this,” said Sergio Joseman, Director of Colombia Consulting. Those who added that financial sanctions could be economically paralyzed.

The growing discontent

Petro comments add to the growing conclusion of Latin America, where the age of the Trump administration begins a week in filling for collective deportation.

The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was condemned late on Saturday, the “degrading treatment” of the Brazilians, after the migrants were caught on a commercial deportation trip. Upon arrival, some passengers also reported abuse during the trip, according to local news reports.

The plane, which was carrying 88 Brazilian passengers, 16 US security agencies, and eight crew members, was originally scheduled to reach beo Horizte in the southeastern Minas Gerais state.

However, at an unprecedented station due to technical problems in Manaus, the capital of the Amazon, the Brazilian officials ordered the removal of handcuffs, and President Luiz Inola Lula da Silva has set a Brazilian flight (FAB) to complete their flight. In a statement Saturday.

The journey of the commercial charter was the second this year of the United States carrying uncomfortable immigrants who were deported to Brazil and the first since the opening of Trump, according to the Brazilian federal police.

Officials from the US State Department, the Pentagon, the US Internal Security Ministry, and the enforcement of immigration and customs in the United States, have not wanted requests to suspend.

The use of US military aircraft to carry out deportations is part of the Pentagon’s response to the Declaration of Trump’s national emergency on immigration on Monday.

In the past, US military aircraft were used to transport individuals from one country to another, as during the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan in 2021.

A US official said this is the first time in the modern memory that US military aircraft used to put migrants outside the country.

US military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each of which are about 80 migrants, to Guatemala on Friday.
