Colombia gives in to Trump and will accept deported migrants to avoid tariffs
The president of the United States had threatened Gustavo Petro with a 25% tariff on Colombian products for refusing to allow two planes carrying deportees to land in his country
Colombia gave in to U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands on Sunday night and agreed to accept flights with deportees in exchange for the United States not imposing a 25% tariff on Colombia’s imports. “The government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” the White House said in a statement.
