The United States will impose 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods after Colombia denied landing rights for deportation flights, as announced by President Donald Trump. If Colombia does not alter its stance, Trump intends to raise the tariffs to 50% within a week.
Following the obstructed deportation flights, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio directed the suspension of visa issuance at the American embassy in Colombia.
In response, Colombian President Gustavo Petro threatened to impose 25% retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., underscoring the importance of dignity in repatriation.
