Trump Targets Colombia with Tariffs and Sanctions Over Immigration Dispute
TMTPOST -- U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to impose sweeping tariffs and sanctions on Colombia after the country refused to allow two US military planes carrying deported migrants to land, marking a sharp rebuke of a key US security partner over immigration policy. In a dramatic announcement on social media Sunday, Trump declared an emergency 25% tariff on all Colombian goods entering the US, set to increase to 50% within a week. He also imposed travel restrictions on a range of Colombian government officials and signaled the enforcement of “Treasury, Banking, and Financial Sanctions” under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The move has sent shockwaves through global markets, highlighting the escalating tensions between Washington and Bogotá. This bold action underscores Trump’s resolve to align foreign policy with his immigration agenda, even at the risk of straining relationships with key allies.
