Colombia has agreed to President Donald Trump’s demands to accept deportation flights from the United States following the threat of severe economic measures. The White House confirmed that previously announced tariffs will not go into effect after Colombian officials agreed to receive deported nationals without further resistance.
Initially, Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected two U.S. military flights carrying deportees, prompting Trump to announce a series of retaliatory actions, including a 25% tariff on Colombian imports and sanctions on government officials. The Colombian government responded by proposing countermeasures, but the economic risks quickly led to a shift in their position.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Colombia’s leadership ultimately agreed to all U.S. conditions, including the use of military aircraft to return deportees without delay. However, enhanced inspections at U.S. ports for Colombian cargo will continue until the first flights are confirmed to have landed successfully.

Trump took to social media to emphasize that his administration would not allow any foreign government to obstruct U.S. immigration enforcement. He reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring every country accepts responsibility for its own citizens.
Columbia tried to resist Trump and he came back swinging haymakers.
