White House Faces Backlash Over Colombia Tariff Announcement Typo

A misspelling in an official statement draws ridicule as Trump imposes tariffs following a deportation dispute with Colombia.

The White House issued a press release misspelling 'Colombia' as 'Columbia,' leading to widespread online criticism.
The statement referenced President Trump's announcement of tariffs on Colombia after the country refused flights carrying deported Colombian migrants.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro responded critically, emphasizing his opposition to forced deportation practices.
The U.S. and Colombia reached a subsequent agreement allowing unrestricted returns of Colombian nationals, temporarily halting planned sanctions.
Critics argue that the typo highlights concerns about the administration's competence and attention to detail.
