The United States still doesn’t have an income tax if you don’t earn your income through income.

USA was started in part over anger over tariffs. Something about "no taxation without representation" was the rallying cry.

Good thing that these tariffs go to the US government, and not the UK.
Trump just used the threat of them to force Columbia to accept their migrants back.

If you threaten tariffs to close a deal, and then put them on anyway when you get what you want, no one will believe you in the future. Pulling back when they comply is important.

There is still an option for low tariffs on compliant countries, and high tariffs on non-compliant ones.
Columbia doesn't need a 50% tariff if they take back their invaders, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will have 0%.

This. Not only are tariffs incredibly versatile, they actually work and are more humane than sanctions when used punitively

Columbia folded, so he's moving on to the next country. There's always negotiations going on in the background, and a reevaluation of priorities. It could be a few days between these diplomatic plays, some countries will avoid the spotlight for a few months while the important issues are settled.
