President Donald Trump posted threats against Colombia on his social media platform on Sunday after two U.S. military repatriation flights were prevented from landing.

Deportation flights between the U.S. and Colombia have resumed following a dispute between the two countries that nearly led to a trade war.

Colombia isn’t the first nation to have materially countered Trump’s deportation plans. Still, its tiff with the U.S. is indicative of some lesser-known trade entanglements between North and South America—and of the potential for the Trump administration to hurt Americans’ pocketbooks in its craven pursuit of mass deportations.

The US and Colombia pulled back from the brink of a trade war after the White House said the South American nation had agreed to accept military aircraft carrying deported migrants.

In truth, tariffs against Colombia would have been barely felt in the United States, which has a much larger economy. But it could have devastated Colombia’s economy, possibly bringing instability to the third most populous country in Latin America, behind Brazil and Mexico.
