“Neither the tariffs nor other mechanisms are good.”
“Finally, what I understand is that last night an agreement was reached between both governments and that is good, because finally dialogue and respect must prevail,” the president said during her regular press conference.
This is what we have sought in the relationship with the United States: dialogue, respect, always with our principles of defending our sovereignty, of defending Mexicans abroad, of guaranteeing the human rights of those who are repatriated to our country, she emphasized.
The Colombian Government, through its Foreign Ministry, said on Sunday night that the tense situation created with the United States was overcome, after the South American nation refused to admit two military flights carrying migrants.
The United States cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals.
“The United States must establish a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them,” President Gustavo Petro wrote in X on Sunday morning.
Subsequently, President Donald Trump assured that, in retaliation, he would impose heavy tariffs on imports of Colombian products and visa sanctions.
Colombia then requested an extraordinary summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to discuss the issue of mass deportations of Latin American migrants.
