The Colombian government blocked two U.S. deportation flights on Sunday.

Here is how President Trump responded.

Quote, I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States with a large

number of illegal criminals were not allowed to land in Colombia.

This order was given by Colombia's socialist president Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people.

Petro's denial of these flights

has jeopardized the national security and public

safety of the United States, so I've directed

my administration to immediately

take the following urgent

and decisive retaliatory measures.

Emergency, 25%

tariffs on all goods coming into the United States.

In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%. A travel ban and immediate visa revocations

on the Columbia government officials and all allies and supporters. Visa sanctions on all party members, family members, and supporters

of the Colombian government. Enhanced customs and border protection inspections of all Colombian

nationals and cargo on national security grounds. I-E-E-E-P-A, treasury, banking, and financial

sanctions to be fully imposed. This is going at the president's money. Just a little side note here. This is going at the president's money.

Just a little side note here. This is going at the president's money. Maybe some money the

Colombian elites have stashed in the United States. Who knows? Goes right for the money.

Continues. These measures are just the beginning. 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.
