“Your blockade does not scare me… I am informed that you’re imposing a 50% import tariff on us; I do the same,” the Colombian President wrote on social media.

Not really. They had said you need to feed them and give them water, they can’t come here starving or dehydrated that isn’t how you release prisoners anywhere. Their president said he would send his plane instead of a military transport and would transport them so long as they pass medical and are feed and hydrated.
Trump threw a fit long enough for the media to create the coverage about it and then the coverage about how “Colombia rolled over” by offering the same offer again but this time America gave in. Trump got cucked and the only country reporting it this biased way seems to be Germany and America.
I hope that’s correct.
So far as I can tell it is.
Think of it the opposite way and it also makes facial sense as well. If someone demanded to fly plane loads of randos on military flights into the United States they would immediately be intercepted by f16s, forced to land and that their refusal would result in immediate destruction of their plane. You know border security because of course.
The only article that I could find where the source wasn’t explicitly “the whitehouse says” was BBC where they just said the Columbia hasn’t affirmed that they changed the terms after the tariff threat but also didn’t deny that they did.
They won’t, admitting they refused changes would shatter Trump’s fragile ego and get them tariffs again which benefits no one.
