That didn’t take long.
Following the issuance of crippling measures by President Donald Trump against Colombia and its leaders, President Gustavo Petro reversed his stance on accepting illegal aliens being deported back to the nation. He even offered to allow his own plane to be used to pick them up.
According to The Gateway Pundit:
Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla and a vocal critic of the U.S. foreign policy, has embarrassingly bowed to President Donald Trump’s strategic pressure, making a drastic U-turn by sending the presidential plane to collect Colombian deportees previously barred from landing.
This move comes after Petro’s initial bravado in blocking two U.S. military deportation flights, a decision that sparked a fiery response from the Trump administration.
President Trump, in a characteristic show of force, didn’t just criticize Petro’s actions but retaliated heavily by implementing severe economic and travel sanctions against Colombia.
In less than two hours after the sanctions were announced, Petro caved.
🚨 #BREAKING UPDATE: After President Trump SLAMMED Colombia with sanctions, Colombian President Gustavo Petro now says he will be sending the presidential plane to pick up deportees from the US, per CNN
That didn’t take long! 🤣

The tariffs were issued from the 3rd hole and Colombia caved by the 8th hole. https://t.co/FYnL0RLhax

America is back. It’s just taking some a little more time to realize it than others.
The idiots of Colombia voted for an idiot Marxist for their president. Is it any wonder that they’re on the losing side of America?
If they are smart, the military will meet that plane prepared for the possibility of armed military to emerge. This is a communist dictator. He can’t be trusted.
The tariffs were issued from the 3rd hole and Colombia caved by the 8th hole.
He caved before Trump got to enjoy his hot dogs and Diet Coke at the turn.
We will not be tired of winning for a very long time.
Wow!
That’s a new speed record!
Zero to Trump’s bi–h (rhymes with “itch”) in under 2 hours!
As a Colombian woman, I am so flipping embarrassed that this happened, but I sure am glad that Trump made his point and I LOVE the message it sends to the other nations that may even think about rejecting deportees. Go Trump!
He’s sending his little p[lane because it doesn’t hold very many whereas the C-17s hold a hehl of a lot of illegals. He thinks after a few flights that we will forget all about it then the rest of his criminals can stay here and continue business as usual
WRONG!
What do you think the Danes will do when threatened by the military and economic might of the US? We will get Greenland!
Per the President of Columbia: “migrants should not be treated as criminals by the U.S.” …..but they’re criminals(illegal aliens) and the reason why they’re being deported!
Marxism is dead! The Soviet Union is dead! Cuba is dead!
Comrade Petro, your whole ideology and reason for being is dead!
Don’t you realize that you’re dealing with the United States of America.
Best check the Colombian Presidents plane as soon as it touches down on US soil. As a dirty drug cartel member he’ll try to sneak in a shipment of cocaine for his buddies at the CIA and Capital Hill.
Petro says; You can’t do this! I am Dictator!
Trump says; We are, and it is going to suck to be you.
Your chickens are coming home to roost.
Suck it up, Butter cup.
I could be worse. Imagine carpet bombing their capitol with Criminals.
That would be one hell of a way of telling the Criminals not to set foot into the USA.
I like that idea! Didn’t Argentina do that back in the 70’s?
Hey Colombia!
If your country is nothing but Criminals; Where is/was your moral compass?
Marxists have none.
Your country was established as a Catholic Republic. What happened?
Yeah, umm, we feed and clothe the TURD world and make their leader rich by their thievery. They better do what we say or we take over their country like Greenland.
