Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything thatβs happened by the time the next election rolls around so Iβd like to keep a running list of things as theyβre happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if Iβve missed anything.
January 2025:

Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Columbia after the Columbian government turned away two airplanes carrying migrants. Columbia has retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff of its own on US goods.
Donald Trump has also issued a travel ban for Columbian citizens and revoked visas from Columbian migrants coming to the US.
Donald Trump has now backed off the tariffs and other threats against Columbia. Note for future reference: this comes just hours after Trump made the threat in the first place and he and the Columbian president got into a big fight on social media.
