Colombian President Gustavo Petro has blasted Donald Trump after their trade war and claimed he is 'on track to white out humanity'
Shortly after last November’s election, Trump threatened China, Mexico, and Canada with 10% and 25% tariffs, respectively.
With Donald Trump in the White House and Marco Rubio in the State Department, the days of coddling our anti-American Marxist neighbors are over.

Gustavo Petro had briefly threatened to ignite a trade war with the United States and turned away U.S. planes over the treatment of their deportees.
BOGOTÁ, Colombia (AP) — A dispute over deportation flights from the United States to Colombia entered its second day on Monday, with the U.S. backing down on a threat to impose steep tariffs on Colombian goods after the South American nation agreed to accept flights of deported migrants from the U.S.
When Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, refused military planes carrying deportees, infuriating President Trump, he revealed how heated the question of deportations has become.
House Speaker Mike Jonhson said Colombia did an "about face" after President Donald Trump put pressure on its leader to accept its citizens deported from the United States. Johnson also said he "welcomes" Gustavo Petro's presidential plane to receive deportees from the U.
So Trump will likely get his way in more cases than not. But he shouldn’t celebrate just yet, because the short-term payoff of strong-arming Latin America will come at the long-term cost of accelerating the region’s shift toward China and increasing its instability. The latter tends, sooner or later, to boomerang back into the United States.
There were no Situation Room meetings and no quiet calls to de-escalate a dispute with an ally. Just threats, counterthreats, surrender and an indication of the president’s approach to Greenland and Panama.
