That didn’t take long.
Following the issuance of crippling measures by President Donald Trump against Colombia and its leaders, President Gustavo Petro reversed his stance on accepting illegal aliens being deported back to the nation. He even offered to allow his own plane to be used to pick them up.
According to The Gateway Pundit:
Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla and a vocal critic of the U.S. foreign policy, has embarrassingly bowed to President Donald Trump’s strategic pressure, making a drastic U-turn by sending the presidential plane to collect Colombian deportees previously barred from landing.
This move comes after Petro’s initial bravado in blocking two U.S. military deportation flights, a decision that sparked a fiery response from the Trump administration.
President Trump, in a characteristic show of force, didn’t just criticize Petro’s actions but retaliated heavily by implementing severe economic and travel sanctions against Colombia.
In less than two hours after the sanctions were announced, Petro caved.

The tariffs were issued from the 3rd hole and Colombia caved by the 8th hole. https://t.co/FYnL0RLhax

America is back. It’s just taking some a little more time to realize it than others.
