President Trump's aggressive foreign policy approach prioritizes strength and intimidation over diplomacy, illustrated by Colombia's capitulation to his threats regarding the acceptance of deportees. Following Trump's ultimatums, Colombia's leader, Gustavo Petro, agreed to accept returning nationals, reflecting an increased willingness among Latin American countries to cooperate in deportations. This strategy has garnered attention from other nations, but risks alienation of allies, as seen from Trump's Greenland remarks, which stirred unease within Denmark and the EU, highlighting potential diplomatic fallout from threats.
