In an unheard-of move, Colombian President Petro picked up his nationals in San Diego. There was quite a kerfuffle this past weekend when Petro ordered two US planes carrying primarily Colombian criminals turned back to the US.
President Trump immediately ordered a 25% tariff on his goods, soon to be followed by 50% tariffs. He also banned visas.
Petro made some noise about leveling tariffs on us. Democrats, supporting the communist Colombian, started screaming on social media and in legacy media about the loss of coffee and flowers. In any case, it worked.
Petro originally said migrants must be treated with respect.
Yesterday, he picked them up in San Diego and has agreed to Trump’s terms.
This is a message to all the countries who refuse to take their people back. There is nothing wrong with asking countries to take their people here illegally back home. China and Mexico have agreed.
Trump has dropped the tariff threat for now, but the visa ban remains until he sees it working.

In an attempt to save face, while eating crow, Petro sends his own plane to pick up HIS responsibility.
I am confident the Trump administration will keep the pressure on. Bullies like Petro break under real pressure. The other little bullies better take note. Are the bullies of groups like Hamas too stupid to take the warning?
