1:48Now PlayingColombian President Gustavo Petro has urged undocumented Colombians in the United States to quit their jobs “immediately” and return to their homeland, according to a statement he made on X Friday morning.
Petro added that the country’s Department of Social Prosperity would offer credits to returnees who enroll in its programs, the post said.
“Let’s build social wealth in Colombia,” the statement read, translated from Spanish.
The statement comes just days after Petro caved to President Trump’s request to accept flights of undocumented migrants from the U.S. after Trump threatened to impose emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate.
Following the threat of tariffs, Petro even offered up the official Colombian presidential plane to help shuttle migrants back to the country, calling it a response to “the Government’s commitment to guarantee decent conditions.”
