In a bold move, President Donald Trump has declared unprecedented retaliatory actions against Colombia, intensifying an already tense immigration policy stand-off.

The South American nation's refusal to accept deportation flights has prompted Trump to impose tariffs, sanctions, and a series of punitive measures aimed at enforcing compliance with the U.S.'s new stringent immigration regulations.

This marks a clear signal of the administration's strategy to compel alignment from international partners, raising questions about the impact on trade relations and regional diplomacy.
