In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Petro’s denial of the deportation flights, labeling him a "socialist president" who jeopardizes U.S. national security. In retaliation, Trump announced a series of punitive measures against Colombia, including a 25% tariff on all Colombian goods entering the United States, set to increase to 50% within a week. These measures extend to a travel ban affecting Colombian officials, enhanced customs inspections, and severe banking and financial sanctions targeting the Colombian government and its supporters.
