Secretary Rubio Authorizes Visa Restrictions on Colombian Government Officials and their Immediate Family

The State Department will continue to enforce and prioritize an America First agenda. Following President Petro’s refusal to accept two repatriation flights he previously authorized, Secretary Rubio immediately ordered a suspension of visa issuance at the U.S. Embassy Bogota consular section.

Secretary Rubio is now authorizing travel sanctions on individuals and their families, who were responsible for the interference of U.S. repatriation flight operations. Measures will continue until Colombia meets its obligations to accept the return of its own citizens. America will not back down when it comes to defending its national security interests.

"Under the authority of INA 212 (a)(3)(C), Secretary Rubio can render inissible to the United States any alien whose entry “would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”

Visa restrictions would apply to Colombian officials and their immediate family who meet the criteria.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Let's welcome Colombia to the BRICS family.

I hope this trend continues. It'll only push more countries to de-dollarize and the BRICS.

All this gra gra and arrogance na because say other countries still dey use US dollars. We'll see if they can still sanction anyone if everyone starts using their own currencies.

The US is heavily reliant on alliances and partnerships and can NEVER survive on it's own.

Alright

But that are more diplomatic and rational ways to lead. Putin and XI are tougher than Trump yet they demonstrate cautious stance when dealing with countries.

This confrontation is totally unnecessary but I understand that illegal migrants need to be treated with respect for their dignity when deporting them. U.S. should do better to treat the illegal migrants that don't have criminal records with respect for their human rights.

Rest.

Check history. Every coalition of haters never last.

The key figures of the coalition will codedly loot the weaker ones through contributions and deals that favour themselves.

You will learn and you will learn the hard way.

Even Nigerian deportees from other countries carry their bags with them not to talk of Latino deportees getting handcuffed throughout the journey like criminals.

Didn't you get the gist ?

They are handcuffed because they are actually criminals with multiple rap sheets

Lol. You changed your mouth quickly (I thought you were beating your chest over the 50% tariffs imposed by Colombia?) Do you think it is easy to de-dollarize? Do you know the chain of benefits that would be lost? Lol! Little kids getting all excited in their one-room apparent.

Even China and Russia who are arch-enemies to the U.S. and share the same vision of becoming a world power—have not changed their foreign reserves from the dollar.

I know you are anti US but I think you are unto something. It might not be the BRICS but I am sure that if Trump continues like this he will end up alienating the US and further strengthens China and Russia' positions on the global stage.

He is about to create diplomatic nightmares for the next president.

You'll soon know why they left the US where they "benefited more" to BRICS where they won't benefit anything from.

You must think everyone is as stupid as you.

The spotlight is on Trump and his country right now. At least Putin can rest small while planning more wicked ways to pinch Ukraine😂.
