It didn't help, of course - but even the threatening at 110 decibels in private has consequences. Again, as Mike Johnson said, this puts Colombia "on notice" - on notice that Trump will think little of inflicting really bad economic harm with very little advance notice on a very minor issue (military vs. civilian flights). When you've mostly had good relations with your much bigger and stronger neighbor - albaby

Other than cash our $400M+ aid checks every year, what exactly has our investment in "good relations" obtained for the USA?

BTW, has the CP's plane shown up yet. We had two military transports planes loaded with criminals ready to go, have they been picked up yet. I doubt it. Jere is something i found concerning the CP's plane.

The presidential aircraft of Colombia is a Boeing 737-700 BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) registered FAC-0001 and operated by the Colombian Air Force. It features a VIP cabin and has a capacity for 54 passengers. The aircraft entered service in July 2006.

With a seating capacity of 54 it is clear the CP cannot catch up, let alone keep up. then what, fly civilian. Yep take that long awaited family vacation to Columbia and have half the plane full of guys with neck tattoos as seat mates. We could charter some commercial planes if the major carriers have the spare capacity to lease to us. I am OK with that and even encourage it but the deportees must keep flowing South until another alternative can be arranged and that alternative ain't the CP's plane.
