Colombia has accepted hundreds of deportation flights in the past years. It rejected two flights using military planes, but agreed to continue taking flights using normal ICE planes.
In response, the Trump administration has done the equivalent of punching them in the face.

After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures.
Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.

A recap of today's crisis:
- Colombia: Deportations are fine, but don't use military planes.
- Trump: F*** YOU. 50% tariffs, visa bans, and sanctions.
- Colombia: If you're going to be that way, screw you too, 50% tariffs back at you, we're breaking up, and we'll see other people *coughChinacough*.
