Sydney Morning Herald
In a bold move, US President Donald Trump has slapped Colombia with 'emergency' tariffs and travel bans after the nation refused to accept two planeloads of deported migrants. This retaliation is seen as a significant escalation in the diplomatic row between the two countries. The tariffs are expected to have a major impact on bilateral trade, with Colombia's economy likely to be hardest hit. With trade tensions rising, the situation remains uncertain. Key issues include deportation policies, international relations, and economic sanctions.
