00:00
Tweets, memes, and a fly full of captive migrants.
00:02
This is what led to a tariff war between the US and
00:05
Colombia. Brother, this feels like a Black Mirror episode.
00:09
Crazy ass year. Yeah,
00:11
but look, it's all started when military planes with deportees attempted
00:14
to land in Colombia and the Colombian government denied the flights and
00:18
it was a military flight,
00:19
right? Then Colombian President Petro responded with a tweet saying,
00:24
Trump, I don't really like traveling to US much.
00:28
Yada yada yada and essentially at the end he says,
00:31
and I'll shake hands with white enslavers.
00:37
he fired back. He went on true social,
00:39
social,, he's still banned from Twitter or X or
00:42
whatever. Nah, I mean,
00:43
he's cool with Elon though,
00:44
like some compasso. Maybe just because true social,
00:47
like no one's gonna mess with my thing like this is my
00:49
platform. These are my people,
00:52
so Trump says he'll be.
00:53
tariffs of 25% on goods coming into the US from Colombia.
00:57
If Colombia did not comply within a week,
01:00
the US president threatened to up the tariffs to 50%.
01:04
Jesus. That's crazy.
01:06
You know Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
01:09
the flowers come from,
01:12
they come from Colombia,
01:13
like a good percentage of the flowers here come from Colombia.
01:17
I didn't know. So that it's gonna be a crisis.
01:20
But he also warned of further actions including travel bans and visa
01:23
sanctions targeting Colombian government members,
01:25
their families, and supporters.
01:28
Then right after Trump posted the AI mean mentioning faiFO or fafo
01:34
which means fuck around and find out.
01:36
But my dude fucking around and finding out.
01:38
He's the one that's fucking around and finding out.
01:42
Yeah, like it's like.
01:48
oh yeah, like it's like it's a pissing match,
01:51
but these are our leaders.
01:53
Like they're like high schoolers be on the internet,
01:57
you know, it's a little high school drama for sure,
02:00
yeah, but so Petro fired back as well,
02:03
and he said, I'm informed that you impose a 50% tariff
02:06
on the fruits of our human labor turn to the United States
02:09
and I'll do the same.
02:10
See, yeah, they're going back.
02:15
But finally, Colombia announced it was sending its own military planes
02:18
to pick up the migrants that were supposed to have arrived the
02:20
day before, which seemed to halt the tariffs,
02:23
and Trump feels like he won,
02:24
right? But while all those petty tweets and tariffs working against
02:28
other countries, I don't know,
02:31
dude. I feel like Trump's with everybody.
02:35
you bring up a good point because homeboys I have no allies
02:37
left. No one wants to be his homie.
02:40
Like, he's cool with Buqueda right now,
02:44
right? So I think so.
02:45
So it's like I'm sure that down the road they're gonna machoca
02:49
or something and then I don't know.
02:51
I don't know, do it,
02:52
but I mean I guess we'll see what happens.
