| #12 The threat was more than just closing the embassy visa section. Red State collected the entire sequence here, including President Trump’s epic 1000-word image posted in response to the capitulation. Just keep scrolling down. |

| #5 Closing the visa section (as the article states) is not the same as closing the embassy. Don't get me wrong - glad we did it and should do it more places. |

| #3 Yeah that is how Trump and his people work 49. Slap them down and they panic and offer up things to change it. Art of the deal |

| #1 Not happy with this but could be a huge oppotunity for deals. Columbia has a very low GDP per person (cheap labor) but they are highly educated and skilled. They are where Mexico was some 20-30 years ago and can make low end items in low-medium added value (see ore into refined raw metal and such) and then ship that to Mexico/US for assembly into higher value added products. Aaaaand we have a free trade agreement with them. Maybe slip a few billion from venture capitalists to build up infrastructure that are encouraged by tax breaks and that can help decouple from China even more |
