“Your blockade does not scare me… I am informed that you’re imposing a 50% import tariff on us; I do the same,” the Colombian President wrote on social media.

I hope that’s correct.
So far as I can tell it is.
Think of it the opposite way and it also makes facial sense as well. If someone demanded to fly plane loads of randos on military flights into the United States they would immediately be intercepted by f16s, forced to land and that their refusal would result in immediate destruction of their plane. You know border security because of course.
The only article that I could find where the source wasn’t explicitly “the whitehouse says” was BBC where they just said the Columbia hasn’t affirmed that they changed the terms after the tariff threat but also didn’t deny that they did.
They won’t, admitting they refused changes would shatter Trump’s fragile ego and get them tariffs again which benefits no one.
