That wasn’t in the plans. Colombia, Mexico and Brazil refuse to grant permission to U.S. military flights carrying deported immigrants to land. Trump responds with “emergency “ tariffs on Colombian imports. Nothing on Mexico and Brazil yet.
Colombia’s biggest export to the USA is cocaine. How do you collect tariffs on that?
The U.S. imports 24 B of Colombian legal goods and we export 28b to Colombia every year. We export more than we import with Colombia. Fascinating stuff.
Sure we export more to Colombia, but so what, it’s miniscue. Companies don’t need Collombia. And with way better Border security, more drugs will be confiscated. Columbia will be the next Venezuela.
Trump isn’t messing around. With anyone.
