Like that's gonna matter...

For Colombia, the US represents 29% of their total exports and about $4.2 billion a year.

For the US, Colombia imports about $16.5 billion representing less than one half of one percent of US trade.

Colombia's GDP is about $330 billion total.

Who do you think is going to suffer in that arrangement?

Colombia has plenty of other options. China being a huge one. All the US is going to do is drive other countries to China.

Colombia’s Petro Message to Trump: I Won’t Kneel:good4u:

In a long message published on X.com, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro directly addressed U.S. President Donald Trump amid the escalating diplomatic crisis between the two countries. As both nations have exchanged reciprocal sanctions in recent hours, President Petro decided to invoke his refusal to submit to Trump, whom he portrays as an illegitimate president, in the name of the freedom of the peoples, Colombia, and Latin America.

Colombia’s President Petro message to Donald Trump​

“Trump, I don’t really like traveling to the U.S.; it’s a bit boring, but I confess that there are things worth noting. I like going to the Black neighborhoods in Washington, where I once witnessed an entire fight in the U.S. capital between Black and Latino people with barricades. I thought it was nonsense because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in U.S. history, and I follow them. They were executed as worker leaders in the electric chair by fascists, who are present in the U.S. just as they are in my country.

I don’t like their oil, Trump, it will destroy humanity because of greed. Perhaps someday, with a glass of whiskey, which I accept despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, which I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So, if you know anyone stubborn, that’s me, period. You may try, with your economic power and arrogance, to stage a coup like you did with Allende. But I die by my own laws, I resisted torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slaveholders next to Colombia, we’ve had many, and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can’t join me, I’ll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

Typical grandiose bullshit from some corrupt Latin American shithole. Why are his people fleeing to to the U.S. if he's such a great ruler?

We liberated Panama from those punks.
