Steve HermanPresident Trump says he's taking immediate retaliatory measures against Colombia for its government not allowing two repatriation flights from the US, "with a large number of Illegal Criminals," to land there.
Update: Colombia's president to offer his presidential plane for repatriation of Colombian nationals deported from the US.
"President Trump is not messing around when it comes to protecting America’s Homeland." - Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary on the immediate actions imposed against Colombia
Colombia’s president “authorized flights and provided all needed authorizations and then canceled his authorization when the planes were in the air.“ - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
ahistorical immaterialist
sandywb14@w7voa such an impressively written state document. I wonder if he stomped his foot and crossed his arms when issuing it?
Dr Neenah Estrella-Luna@w7voa Waiting for Latin American countries - particularly Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama - to deport the undocumented US Americans living illegally in those countries.
a fading echo@w7voa
Two things bother me about that claim, well, three.
1. That I'm reluctant to believe anything that Administration states, even if apparent evidence were produced;
2. That a claim that the president of another country would be personally doing air traffic control's job is offered as if plausible - presidents have people for that, and presidents have their own work to do;
3. That the former probably doesn't apply to the Trump Admin.

Jonah Gibberish@midgephoto @w7voa it's all a lie. The Trump administration sent the Colombians back in chains and on a military flight, both of which aren't how migrants are returned, normally it's on a commercial flight and not in chains.
FallsMom 🌻POTUS boys write it Marco signs it, I'm not going to believe them.
Paul@w7voa I'm hearing from a friend in the US that it's being reported that Colombia folded very quickly after Trump's threats?
That doesn't seem to align with the message you posted re the Colombian President saying he would offer his plane to repatriate them? I read that as being back to the US
Not that it would work very well if he tried that
@HardBeingGreen @w7voa that reporting isn't true. the Colombian president said that if the migrants were returned with dignity as they normally are then they will accept them, the Trump admin sent the Colombians back in chains and on a military flight, normally its just a commercial flight and nobody's in chains, totally gross and unnecessary cruelty from the Trump admin for a photo op
Yeah seems that's the case. Now Trump claiming it's all resolved and the Colombian President has caved
Reading his earlier comments it sure didn't seem that way
I'm guessing the truth is somewhere in-between. Crisis averted, well this time anyway

Daedalean@w7voa I might believe him if he produces receipts.
Wandering Star@w7voa Do it again.
Yes, the White House misspelled Colombia in the headline of an ICYMI note it sent out to correspondents this afternoon.
In a post to the Colombian president’s Twitter (X) account, Gustavo Petro, a former M19 urban guerrilla movement leader, vows retaliatory tariffs on the US, tells President Trump “you can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance… I resisted torture and I resist you.”
