French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said France should follow U.S. President Donald Trump's hardline stance toward countries unwilling to receive deportees, citing his pressure on Colombia as a model for Paris' dealings with Algeria.

When Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, refused military planes carrying deportees, infuriating President Trump, he revealed how heated the question of deportations has become.

Colombia isn’t the first nation to have materially countered Trump’s deportation plans. Still, its tiff with the U.S. is indicative of some lesser-known trade entanglements between North and South America—and of the potential for the Trump administration to hurt Americans’ pocketbooks in its craven pursuit of mass deportations.
