US Imposes Tariffs on Colombia Over Rejected Deportation Flights
ai generated text
US President Donald Trump announced retaliatory measures against Colombia after the country's President Gustavo Petro turned down US deportation flights carrying Colombian migrants. Petro demanded that migrants be treated with dignity and refused to let the planes land.
We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States.
This is a clear message we are sending that countries have an obligation to accept repatriation flights.
Just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.
That is why I returned the US military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants... In civilian planes, without being treated like criminals, we will receive our fellow citizens.
From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world, with open arms.
I do not shake hands with white enslavers.
I do not authorise the entry of North American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory. The US must establish a protocol of dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.
A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves.
Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world.
It's sending a strong signal to the world: Our border is closed.
