The U.S. will impose sanctions on countries that refuse to accept their own migrants, stated Johnson.

The U.S. Congress is prepared to impose sanctions against countries that refuse to take back their citizens unlawfully residing in the United States. This was announced by U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"Colombia and all countries should keep in mind - Congress is fully ready to implement sanctions and other measures against those who do not cooperate fully or fail to meet the requirements for accepting their citizens who are illegally in the U.S.," he noted in his social media post on X.

Johnson added that President Donald Trump prioritizes the U.S., and Congress "will implement policies that will strengthen his agenda."

Previously, The Washington Post reported that the U.S. and Colombia resolved a dispute regarding migrants. Specifically, this conflict has become the most significant diplomatic crisis in a decade between the U.S. and one of its key allies in Latin America.

It was also revealed that Donald Trump has closed the southern border of the U.S. to illegal migrants. Thus, the president fulfilled his campaign promise of "closing the border on the first day" of his new term.
