I mean... he didn't ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bullshit, no capitulation. Colombian president refused to accept deportees by military transport on humane grounds. Both threatened tariffs, Trump ‘capitulated’ and agreed to put them back on commercial flights, which is how it always has been - Colombia accepting deportees. Don’t buy into this myth the media is creating.
If the Trump Admin agreed not to transport people in handcuffs, that wouldn't be a capitulation, but rather what Petro wanted. Remember the Trump Admin is going to spin literally every outcome as "a victory" while talking shit about the other guy, regardless of the reality of any negotiation outcome.
Tbf for nations like Colombia, who have a very small GDP, it would be almost impossible to survive the orange asshole's bullying.
Let's see what'll happen if/when he attacks a nation who's in the same league as America.
#FuckTrump
This was all theatre where nothing in reality changed, to show how tough and intransigent this admin wants to be: the real problem is that if formally and informally allied nations start to think that the USA would really commit to bullying as a real negotiation tactic, they will start to divest from it and expand their pool of partners to make these tactics less impactful.
This could be disastrous in the long run, with decades of integration and diplomacy going in smoke. But in the short term there will be a lot of "winning", as they keep saying. I guess.
The first Trump term was seen as a short term derailing. The second one has a complete different international impact.
Goodwill is a real diplomatic form of currency and it is getting burned at a real fast pace.
I hope and can't wait for the first country to kick America out. Like get your bases out.
I disagree. In fact, I think a lot of nations would start trading with Colombia if it defied the U.S. under Trump. But I guess we'll never know now.
I don’t agree, I think a lot of nations want to try to stay off of trumps radar for the next 4 years.
Unless something terrible happens, this should be over in 4 years.
It's funny how people think it we'll be over in 4 years. And even if it is what about the 4 after that or after that. America has just proven it is an unreliable partner again. The world should walk away. I mean it's crazy that China is more reliable at least you know who your dealing with.
I think it will be interesting to see what China does as this bullying continues. They’re already facing tariffs, so they don’t have much to lose by stepping in and picking up new trade partners as Trump pisses everyone off. Might hurt for awhile, but it was always going to. Trump could prove to be the best thing for China’s economy & global influence in the long run.
China threatened 75% tarriffs when Trump mentioned 10% tarriffs. Don't see him following through with his threat yet.
Personally, I’ve stopped thinking, “he can’t be that stupid/crazy.” Every time I think that, he proves me wrong!
We need to make a global Alliance where if Trump tarriffs one country, every country responds with double the tarriffs.
That's where Trump will send you regardless of country of origin.
See, just kiss the kings ring and everything will be OK.
Can I grovel a bit first? I feel like I deserve some humiliation
Get your kinks off with someone who knows it's for fun.
