Tariff Leverage in U.S.-Colombia Relations

The Trump administration's recent use of tariffs in negotiations with Colombia demonstrates a strategic approach to foreign relations. Following Colombia's refusal to accept deported migrants flown back from the U.S., President Trump threatened a 25% tariff on Colombian goods, which swiftly led to Colombia conceding to U.S. demands. This incident illustrates how tariffs can be utilized as a powerful negotiating tool, potentially paving the way for more favorable terms in international agreements. The scenario highlights a shift in diplomatic strategy where tariffs are seen not just as economic penalties, but also as mechanisms for achieving broader policy objectives.
