Full Episode
Well, over the weekend, President Trump was golfing, and then he decided it was time for Columbia, the country, not the university, to F around and find out. So here's how it all went down. It was pretty incredible. So Columbia had announced that they were not going to accept plane flights filled with deportees.
So the Trump administration had moved very quickly when it came into office to start arresting and deporting people who were criminal illegal immigrants, and that included many Colombian deportees, people from the country of Colombia. And the president of Colombia then suggested that he was not going to actually accept any of those deportees.
He announced that while President Trump was in the middle of a round of golf, apparently, and he decided to take a break on the front nine, just step off the green for a moment and issue the following post on Truth Social. 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 was already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro's denial of these flights has jeopardized the national security and public safety of the United States. Trump then added that he had directed his administration to, quote, immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures.
Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States in one week. Those 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%. A travel ban and immediate visa revocation on Colombian 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. IEPA treasury, banking, and financial sanctions to be fully imposed. And then Trump continued, these measures are just the beginning.
We'll not allow the Colombian government to violate its legal obligation with regards to the acceptance and return of the criminals they forced into the United States.
Now, Colombian President Petro had suggested on Sunday, quote, I cannot make migrants stay in a country that does not want them, but if that country sends them back, it should be with dignity and respect for them and for our country. A migrant is not a criminal. And while President Trump had had about enough of that, and within literal minutes, I'm not even kidding.
Within about 10 minutes of President Trump putting out a statement that he'd be increasing the tariffs on Colombian products to 25% this week, followed by 50% next week, the government of Colombia immediately caved, like totally caved. Here's a statement from the White House press secretary. Quote,
