(Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States would impose wide-ranging sanctions and impose tariffs against Colombia over its refusal to accept U.S. military aircraft with migrants being deported.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the United States would slap emergency 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods coming into the United States and would raise that to 50% in one week.
