Trump’s tariffs
Analysis: The world saw that Trump is not giving in
Colombia and the world quickly realized that the US and the Trump administration will not bow to pressure, CNN’s Stephen Collinson and Sky News Washington correspondent David Blevins believe in their respective analyses.
“Gustavo Petros’ (Colombian president, ed. note) conversion represents a concession to US power and to Trump’s aggressive style,” writes Stephen Collinson.
Although the White House wants to show that the US is respected again, the president’s approach could create global concern, he believes.
“Four years of such tactics could damage US relations,” he continues.
David Blevins' analysis in Sky News, published before Colombia's reversal, is on the same track. The new administration will not give in.
He refers to Donald Trump's post on Truth Social. There, an AI-generated image of the president appeared with the text "FAFO". An acronym that is usually interpreted as "fuck around, find out"
"The picture says more than words", writes Blevins.

The tariff threat called off: Colombia bows to Trump's demands
US President Donald Trump is now withdrawing the threat of trade tariffs on Colombian goods after the South American country backed down on the issue of receiving flights with deported migrants, several media outlets report.
"The Colombian government has agreed to all of President Trump's demands, including unlimited acceptance of undocumented migrants from Colombia who have returned from the United States", said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a statement.
The migrants are also allowed to return by military aircraft, which Colombia had previously protested against. But visa restrictions for Colombian officials remain in place until the first plane lands.

Tariffs against Mexico and Canada could be imposed on Saturday
Donald Trump's threat of 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada is moving closer, writes WSJ. According to economic advisers on Trump's team, he could take the threats seriously as of next Saturday, February 1.
Tariffs against the countries are seen as an "effective negotiating tool" and "an effective punishment" for countries that turn against him, a representative in the Trump administration told the newspaper.
The adviser also states that Trump is "very serious" about his threats and expects the countries to cooperate.
