Today in Bogota, Colombia, the U.S. embassy there canceled appointments for Colombians hoping to get visas to enter the U.S.

The move was the Trump administration's response to short-lived resistance by the Colombian government to accept U.S. deportation flights over the weekend.

unfolded this past weekend and give us an update on where things stand right now between the U.S.

and Colombia. Jeff, this morning outside the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombians expecting to pick up

their visas. Instead picked up this piece of paper,

saying that their appointments were canceled due to, quote, the Colombian government's refusal

to accept repatriation flights of Colombian nationals. Those deportation flights on military planes,

unlike Biden or deportations on commercial or charter planes, began late last week.

The Trump administration said Colombia initially agreed to receive Colombian deportees,

but after some Brazilian deportees you see there arrived in handcuffs or reports of poor

conditions on the planes, that's when Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced publicly

that Colombia would not

receive them until they, quote, received dignity and respect. In reply to that, President Trump

threatened 25% tariffs that could rise to 50%, travel bans, visa revocations, and enhanced inspections

on Colombian goods. And in reply to that, Petro vowed his own tariffs

and called President Trump a, quote,

enslaver, who was, quote, going to wipe out

the human species because of greed.

Now, that is what Petro said.

What he did was cave.
