US President Donald Trump said on Sunday on his social social network, which he had ordered “decisive emergency reprisals” in reaction to the decision of the left Colombian president Gustavo Petro to “not let two flights land in Colombia repatriation from the United States, with a large number of illegal criminals on board ”.
These include 25% taxes on all Colombian goods entering the United States, which will be brought to 50% in a week, as well as a ban on the United States and a revocation of Visas for Colombian government officials, its allies and supporters, he said.
Donald Trump also evokes “reinforced inspections” of customs and the border police for all Colombian and goods nationals from this country “for reasons of national security” as well as banking and financial sanctions.
“These measures are only the beginning,” he warns, accusing the Colombian government of shirking its “legal obligations to accept the return of the criminals they forced the United States” to be welcomed.
-The Colombian President demanded on Sunday from the United States that they deal with “dignity and respect” his expelled nationals, while announcing that he had repressed American military planes by transporting. “We will welcome our nationals in civil aircraft, without treating them as criminals,” he said in the morning on the X network.
The Colombian presidency then announced that she was going to send her plane “to facilitate the return to the dignity of nationals who were to arrive in the country this morning, by expulsion flights”. It was not immediately possible to determine whether this announcement was previous, posterior or simultaneous to the sanctions ordered by the American president.
