To be clear, Colombia already backed down and accepted all the demands. Which is unfortunate but not surprising. Starting to get "Just give Hitler what he wants and he'll stop" vibes. Surprised folks didn't learn their lesson...

Trump imposes harsh sanctions on Colombia for not accepting "repatriation" flights
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Even after all these years, I physically cringe every time I read "ReTruths"
Ho ho ho. Trump does not hold the cards here. Colombia DNGAF. But Trump does, and he's digging that hole as fast as he can.
Sanctions not going through Congress, it's insane that's considered constitutional
He governs by decrees basically, and so did biden. Its mental gymnastics at olympic level to call the US a democratic country.
Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.
Love it.
Lol. They caved.
The US caved actually, Petro point was that the deportees werent treated like garbage.
Bent the knee.
