'Emergency 25% tariffs': Trump flips out after Colombia turns away deportation flights
President Donald Trump said he was imposing "emergency" tariffs and other measures on Colombia after the country turned away at least two deportation flights.
In an angry social media post on Sunday, Trump revealed that the flights "were not allowed to land in Colombia." He accused Colombian President President Gustavo Petro of jeopardizing "the National Security and Public Safety of the United States."
"So I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures," Trump stated.
The measures included "emergency 25% tariffs," travel restrictions, and financial sanctions.

"These measures are just the beginning," Trump insisted. "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!"
In a post on the X (formerly Twitter) social media platform, Petro said that the flights treated migrants as criminals.
