Colombia Agrees to Deportation Flights, U.S. Tariffs Remain on Hold Amid Tensions
Colombia has agreed to accept U.S. deportation flights, easing tensions with the Trump administration and postponing tariffs.
Overview
Tensions between the U.S. and Colombia have dissipated as Colombia agreed to accept deportation flights from the U.S. This agreement follows a standoff where Colombian President Gustavo Petro initially blocked U.S. military planes transporting deportees, prompting President Trump to threaten tariffs and sanctions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Colombia will now accept repatriated migrants without restriction. While the planned 25% tariffs were suspended, visa sanctions and intensified border inspections remain until the first deportation flight is successfully executed. The Colombian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the resolution, underscoring a continued commitment to handling these migrant returns.
