    Even the US military acknowledged that military planes were the issue.

      Apparently he briefly stopped flights in 2023 for the same reason.

        I wonder if China will suddenly buy a lot more from Colombia.

            Can't blame Colombia for trying. Definitely would have worked against Biden.

              Wait, the President of Colombia is so concerned about the dignity of these citizens that he will fly them on the Presidential plane rather than have them suffer the indignity of flying in a military plane, yet they claim they came to the US for asylum?

                I imagine he was looking for a face-saving way to get off the limb. It was his own dignity he tried to save with the presidential plane.

                  https://www.state.gov/ending-illegal-immigration-in-the-united-states/

                  Colombian President Petro had authorized flights and provided all needed authorizations and then canceled his authorization when the planes were in the air.

                  Is it possible that Colombian authorities had no idea what kind of aircraft are being uses? Possible, I suppose.

                    This is very good PR for the Trump admin.

                      I doubt it. My guess is the flights were approved at lower operational levels per normal and then the president just decided to make himself a hero an ass out of himself for the retweets.
