After a nail-biter week, the U.S. and Colombia stepped back from a potential trade war this Sunday. The two nations resolved a dispute over Colombia accepting a U.S. military flight carrying deported migrants—but not before tariff threats from Washington left Colombians sweating over economic fallout. 💸
The clash began when Colombia initially resisted the deportation flight, sparking retaliatory warnings from the U.S. While a last-minute deal eased tensions, locals fear future flashpoints. 'This isn’t just about tariffs—it’s about trust,' said a Bogotá market vendor interviewed anonymously. 'One tweet could wreck our exports.' 🛫🇨🇴
Experts say the episode highlights how migration policies are increasingly tangled with trade diplomacy. With Colombia being a top U.S. ally in Latin America, the stakes are high for both economies. As one analyst put it: 'Think of it like a messy group project—no one wins if communication fails.' 📉🤝
