You may want to double check your source here; Jumex juices are 100% a Mexican brand. Office in San Antonio. Distributed in the US by Arizona Tea Co, based in Brooklyn, NY.
Sources: the box in my fridge with the label "product of Mexico". Quick internet search. "Whois" search.

You're honestly attacking the vocabulary in her statement?The word "pejorative" is a 10th grade-ish reading level word used by every day non-lawyer people, like me, in regular conversations that don’t take place in a courtroom. Nevertheless, enough context clues exist here to get her point.

Her delivery reminds me of the same disingenuous enthusiasm of an influencer doing an unboxing reel with hideous free swag from a 3rd rate brand and calling it luxurious. Just with a thing that's far more dangerous and disgusting.

I will follow the Chicago way, here. Despite the attempt to rebrand it as Willis Tower, Chicagoans will correct you if you try to go with the wrong name: "It's the Sears Tower".
In that vein...
It's the Gulf of Mexico.

It really was. The response by Petro was the salve I needed to see. I barely held it together in the Colombian aisle at the local hispanic market.

The diplomatic envoy being sent to Washington is also an indication that Colombia is still angry.
And yes, the flowers! A giant percentage of flowers are imported from Colombia. Fruit, silver, gold, silk, coffee, coal to name a few others.

Totally. Colombia is one of, if not the top, importer of American grown corn. So the statement on growing their own corn and creating trade agreements with other countries except the US and imposing a tariff on American goods... was actually incredible leverage.
Petro knows Colombia's value.

What's interesting about this morning's statement from Colombian officials is that they did not roll back any directives about divesting from American sourced products and replacing them with internally or alternately sourced replacements.

A statement issued by the Colombian government is that Petro is sending his plane to transport these deportees in a dignified manner. The statement did not roll back any of the directives to divest from North American goods and replace them with internally produced/alternately sourced replacements.

Additionally, in a statement this morning from Colombian officials, Petro is sending his presidential plane to collect citizens to ensure they are treated like human beings.

Petro did not cave. Colombia has always accepted planes of citizens to repatriate them as they said they can't force anyone to keep someone they don't want. But it must be done with the dignity for the human being, which is what the capitol agreed to do end the trade war.
It was 45 that caved.

Such a misleading headline.

Colombia didn’t fold. They demanded the migrants be treated respectfully and no handcuffs while being transported by the US. Then said there will be tariffs if trump doesn’t change his tactics…then trump folded.

Google translate got the words right, but failed a bit at the more poetic turns of phrase. So, it's a slightly clumsy translation. It is far more eloquent and nuanced in Spanish, with historical and literary references that make it far more coherent and scathing.
