🇺🇸💼 The Trump Administration has made headlines by leveraging U.S. spending power to resolve a national security crisis involving Colombia! After Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected repatriation flights for deportees, the U.S. swiftly imposed 25% tariffs on Colombian goods, escalating to 50% shortly after. This decisive action prompted a quick turnaround from Colombia, with their foreign ministry agreeing to accept the flights to uphold citizens' rights. This marked a significant moment as Trump effectively used tariffs as a tool to navigate a diplomatic impasse impacting migration policies. Colombian migrants are part of a growing wave seeking better opportunities in the U.S., with a record 170,000 arrests for irregular entry in 2023. 📊 In another win, Trump also secured an agreement with China to accept deported migrants, addressing the over 200,000 undocumented Chinese nationals in the U.S. 🇨🇳🤝 These developments highlight the potential effectiveness of Trump's "tariff scare" policies, though their application against larger economies like China may carry risks.
