Executive Order 11246 requires affirmative action and prohibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

Essentially they have gone full kopite.

By most metrics Bidens presidency was a success in difficult times, expect trump to take credit for the Biden administrations good work while carrying out acts of sheer evil and salting the earth for successors.

I don't think he is considering the idea of successors.

Do they get a lot of duty on the coke that travels up to the us? Will the emergency 25% tariff be felt much?

This is Panama, look at the neighbours.

So seeing as we're playing silly buggers with renaming things...

Legal Colombian exports to the US were valued at $28 billion last year. The US exported nearly as much to Colombia, so Petro should just return the favour if Trump wants to play silly buggers.

Except that the US is Colombia’s biggest trade partner and the relationship certainly doesn’t go the other way. This is what Trump is banking on, bullying countries into bending over for the US.

Less impressive if, at the end of the day, Colombia now accepts it's bad hombres back. It appears Colombia are now willing to accept them. Better all round if tariff's are merely threatened and not actually imposed. If an agreement is reached by allowing the Colombian President to save face by talking sh*t about the US or Trump then its a small sacrifice Trump is almost certainly willing to make. Everyone's a winner at the end.

Art of the Deal.
