Two (2) US repatriation flights were loaded “with a large number of Illegal Criminals”.
President Trump said, “President Gustavo Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States”, adding, “I have directed my Administration to immediately take urgent and decisive retaliatory measures” against Colombia.
According to Department of State: “The State Department will continue to enforce and prioritize an America First agenda. Following President Petro’s refusal to accept two repatriation flights he previously authorized, @SecRubio immediately ordered a suspension of visa issuance at the U.S. Embassy Bogota consular section.
@SecRubio is now authorizing travel sanctions on individuals and their families, who were responsible for the interference of U.S. repatriation flight operations. Measures will continue until Colombia meets its obligations to accept the return of its own citizens. America will not back down when it comes to defending its national security interests.”
