Trump hits Colombia with tariffs over deportation clash
The American president doesn't mince words or actions. After Colombia refused to accept a plane with immigrants deported from the USA, he announced financial sanctions and sanctions against Colombian authorities and officials. Following this, he posted a notable photo on social media with an offensive slogan.
In response to Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25-percent tariff and a broad range of financial sanctions against Colombia and Colombian officials and their families, he turned to social media.
Trump shared an image online where he is styled in a manner reminiscent of gangster movies.
In the background, the inscription "FAFO" appears, which can be interpreted as a direct message to the Colombian authorities.
The abbreviation, popular among young internet users, serves as a warning that actions have consequences. It's similar to expressions like "If you mess with the bull, you get the horns."
There is also a more vulgar interpretation—"[Mess] Around and Find Out." This means that if someone causes trouble, they will quickly discover what consequences await them.
Trump announces tariffs and sanctions on Colombia
Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he had directed the imposition of a 25-percent tariff and a broad range of financial sanctions against Colombia and Colombian officials and their families. The catalyst was Colombian President Gustavo Petro's denial to allow illegal migrants to be deported by military planes.
As stated by the American president in a post on the Truth Social platform, the decision of the "socialist president," who is "already very unpopular amongst his people," compromised the national and public security of the USA.
In retaliation, he announced a series of actions and sanctions against the authorities in Bogotá.
Shortly after, the President of Colombia proposed sending a government plane to the United States to take Colombian citizens deported from the USA, according to CNN reports.
