BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that he was ordering tariffs, visa restrictions and other retaliatory measures to be taken against Colombia after its government rejected two U.S. military flights carrying migrants.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday ordered sweeping tariffs and sanctions against Colombia in retaliation for its refusal to accept military deportation flights, seeking to punish one of his most defiant critics in Latin America.

Trump’s announcement on social media Sunday came after Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused deportation flights, citing concerns over migrant treatment and national security.

Trump said the Colombia's refusal jeopardized U.S. national security. He imposed tariffs on incoming goods, sanctions on government officials, enhanced border inspections of Colombian nationals, and banking and financial sanctions.

Trump said the measures were necessary, because the decision of Colombian President Gustavo Petro “jeopardized” national security in the U.S.
