Someone should sue under the logic that free trade agreements remove the power to tariff. Though, I'm sure because Trump said the magic words of "national security", no one is allowed to second guess his judgement.

What Petro wanted was just an official and ordered procedure to receive the flights. He doesn't oppose receiving Colombians back, his priority is preventing what happened with the Brazilians, actual torture believe it or not.
It's not just "tariffs", it's actual sanctions on Colombian officials.

You can never appease these wannabes dictators. And Trump is a clown. A powerful clown and a crazy clown but still a clown.
If these countries have learned anything from history it's stand up to this fucker now or else it's over.
Love that response by the Colombian leader that shit is hilarious

The other thing about undisciplined Trump who's just a fucking the egotistical prick that has no idea what he's doing, is he's opening up all these battles on all fronts at one time.
He's threatening Europe with withdrawing troops and tariffs on them, and some tariffs on China, tariffs on Mexico and now full on diplomatic and trade wars with Colombia. Honduras is threatening to kick our troops out
If these countries communicate and China surely is taking advantages as well, the US is going to be fighting on so many fronts we are fucked.
Would Trump start world war 3 then? I mean he seems pretty stable right

We got the nukes though.
And that is a scary thing to everyone with common sense.
Basically all the nuclear safeguards are gone.. Milley is gone!
America voted for this craziness..

This could have been resolved with a phone call. Trump picked a fight with Columbia, to look like a tough guy. "Emergency Tariffs" There's a concept for ya!
Under Biden, Colombia accepted 475 deportation flights from 2020 to 2024, fifth behind Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, according to Witness at the Border. Over 120 in 2024 alone. When they are properly coordinated. And he didn’t have to start a fucking trade war to do it. Incompetence by Trump admin. How unsurprising.

WH press release that the spat with Colombia is over.
https://bsky.app/profile/ericmgarcia.bsky.social/post/3lgoy4fsfxk2f
Of course Trump says he got everything he wanted but I'll lay huge money the Colombian government got them to only transport on civil airliners again and not shackled. Their end says they have an agreement for "dignified transport of deportees as citizens with rights". I figure Trump got spooked that they didn't cave.

Yeah it's going to be crazy for the stocks too.
I just put $2100 into Nvidia on Friday.. already expecting down 10%.. but I'll just hold it because I know it's a good company.
Trump is going to create a lot of dips for everything so stuff will be really volatile this year.
Exactly. This what makes him a terrible leader. Just rough-shodding his way through foreign relations for the appearance of 'toughness' is making him seem like an idiot to the rest of the world. In the end he is just more ineffectual than 'tough'.
Thr Brits already considered him an idiot when the staff of former PMs would laugh hysterically at his phone calls to the PM. He just speaks his mind with zero self-awareness.

Ah, Trump desires to break the US dollar. Sanctions are already at maximum stress and breaking under the strain of subduing Russia.
To attack ALL nations with sanctions will simply shatter what power remains. The world will unite against us and empower our actual enemies.
The United States will be much smaller, weaker, and no longer the world super power after MAGA.

lol, lmfao really? i guess invading and replacing governments doesn't mean you are not reliable?
Of course that means we are reliable! We very reliably do those things and everyone knows we will continue to do them!

Wonder if the whole world will pretend any word on the last official statement is true, and that murrica is really "respected" again.
Only one with conditions to accept was Petro.
But still, Orange had to do this.
Petro was responding to everything and the man, contrary to Orange, can actually write. Wasn't doing good to Orange's image.

I thought I remembered there was a lot of fuss about potential conflicts-of-interest with Trump's business interests last time round. Does nobody care about that stuff any more?

Flop sweats breaking out over at OpenAI and Meta today for sure.
That $500B AI investment Trump was crowing about might have a couple issues.

Beyond that it's also the natural cyclic progression of new tech right, it gets faster and smaller, draws less power while even outputting more and better.
In a few months we will be able to run these insane models in our own homes on 2k$ nvidia hardware.
You have to wonder what kind of innovation 500B dollars can put on top of that. Crazy fucking times. Terminator and Idiocracy both being documentaries in the same timeframe is fucking mental.

All the Trump supporters think he is making America powerful by being a bully. In reality he is pissing away American influence.
