Colombia has abandoned the tariff war, but the tactic creates a test for the new Trump administration.
If future sanctions lead to raising prices for US consumers, will an American public object? Will they be willing to endure any financial pain that has suffered to promote Trump’s immigration priorities?
According to the US Department of Agriculture, the US imports about 27% of its coffee from Colombia, as well as other goods such as bananas, raw oil, avocados and flowers. Imports of coffee costs almost $ 2 billion (1.6 billion pounds).
Colombian President Gustava Petro initially replied, saying that his country would take repatriate citizens to “civil planes without treating them as criminals.”
It’s no secret that Peter doesn’t like Donald Trump – he has greatly criticized his migration and environment policies in the past.
In a long response to the X he said that Trump “destroyed the human appearance from the greed” and accused the US president of considering the Colombians “inferior race”.
Peter continued to describe himself as “stubborn” and said that while Trump could try to “make a coup” with “economic power and arrogance”, he, in short, refused.
Most importantly, Peter said: “From today, Colombia is open to the world with open hands.”
This is what the US president who wants to fight migration should worry. Its officials coming to the administration have made it clear that this mission would need a look abroad.
Trump’s choice for Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau has long claimed that “working with other countries to stop such migration flows” should be “the global imperative of the US foreign policy”. On Sunday, the film can do the joint work much less likely.
Tens of thousands of migrants every year from all over the world, from India to China, are sent north to the US after landing in South America and traveling through Colombia through the Gap Darien-Equal Point North of Panama Columbia. This is a dangerous journey that usually facilitates criminal gangs.
