    CELAC Calls Emergency Meeting on January 30 Over US-Colombia Migrant Deportation Crisis, Amid Tariff Escalation

    20 postsLatin AmericaTrump PolicyWorldPolitics

    The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) has called an emergency meeting in response to a diplomatic crisis between Colombia and the United States over the deportation of migrants. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday, January 30, at 11:00 am Honduras time, was convened by Honduran President Xiomara Castro, who currently holds the pro tempore presidency of CELAC. The agenda includes discussions on migration, the environment, and Latin American and Caribbean unity. The crisis escalated after Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused entry to two U.S. military flights carrying deported migrants, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to impose a 25% tariff on Colombian products, with a threat to increase it to 50% within a week. In retaliation, Petro announced similar tariffs on U.S. imports and plans to seek alternative markets for Colombian goods. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, with Petro confirming his in-person attendance in Tegucigalpa.
