Trump’s Big Stick Strategy Will Make America Respected Again

 Colombia's socialist president, Gustavo Petro, agreed to accept American deportation flights carrying Colombian nationals after facing tariff threats from President Donald Trump. The relationship between the U. S. and Colombia has faced challenges, especially during the Biden administration, which allowed migrants from South and Central America, including criminals, to enter the U. S. without strict background checks. This lenient approach has resulted in violent crime in America related to migrant gangs, and now, with Trump in office, deportation efforts are increasing.

Petro initially resisted Trump's plans by stating that Colombia is open to the world and that Colombian migrants should not be treated as criminals. Trump responded by threatening a 25% tariff on all Colombian goods, which would increase to 50% in a week if no agreement was reached. Petro countered with a 25% tax on American goods, insisting that Trump’s threats wouldn’t intimidate him, but within 24 hours, he agreed to the deportation flights, saying that Colombia would ensure dignified returns for its citizens.

Trump's tariff threat proved effective, and Petro quickly complied, even offering to use his presidential plane to assist with the deportations. This situation illustrated Trump's effective diplomatic strategy, showing that protectionist measures can yield results without the need for actual tariffs if countries respect U. S. foreign policy. The potential for tariffs reestablishes American strength on the world stage after years of perceived weakness under the previous administration.

Tariffs serve as a powerful signal to both allies and opponents about the seriousness of U. S. policies. Countries must cooperate on matters like repatriating their citizens to maintain fair trade relations with the U. S. This approach could inspire other nations, like China, which has started taking back illegal immigrants in response to potential tariffs. The renewed focus on protectionism aims to ensure that foreign nations contribute fairly to the costs associated with U. S. support, while emphasizing the importance of respecting American policies.
