Trump announces retaliatory measures after Colombia blocks military deportation flights from U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said he would impose sweeping retaliatory measures against Colombia, including tariffs and visa sanctions after the nation denied entry to two U.S. military deportation flights.

This was the first time in recent memory that military aircraft were used to fly migrants out of the country, one U.S. official said.

U.S. military and police forces began the first deportation flights for illegal immigrants under President Donald Trump's hardline immigration crackdown nationwide and particularly at the southern border.
