Ok, but his writing is sorta besides the point. And have you ever read the shit Trump has written? It just seems like there's this double standard when it comes comparing Trump's actions with the related actions of foreign nations he doesn't like. He like to talk about fairness, yet nothing he does can reasonably be called fair. In this case, this whole issue could have been avoided with a phone call. Colombia proposed a solution to the conflict that was at their own expense, using their own planes, and rather than acknowledge that and make a deal (because we all know what a great dealmaker he is), is initiated a completely unnecessary trade war that will come at the expense of the American people. He still doesn't understand that the American people pay the tariffs he's imposing on other nations. And we'll pay for this too. Keep an eye on the price of coffee over the following days.

The whole tariff thing is kind of fascinating. Australia recently went through this with China.
China imposed tariffs on Australian goods for political reasons.
The below article is a review of the outcome by The United States Studies Centre in Australia.
It’s interesting to see the US push this path knowing the outcome.
