The White House said Sunday night that Colombia has agreed to allow the United States to transport repatriated migrants back to the country after two US military planes carrying deportees were blocked by Colombia early Sunday,

The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S. on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs on imports and other sanctions on the longtime U.

Donald Trump claimed an early victory for a coercive foreign policy based on tariffs and hard power on Sunday after announcing Colombia had backed down in a dispute over migrant repatriation flights.

The White House said on Sunday that it would hold off on the tariffs, saying Colombia had "agreed to all of President Trump's terms."

Hours after repatriation flights were rejected in Colombia and President Donald Trump threatened to impose “emergency” tariffs and sanctions in response, the White House indicated those actions are on hold after President Gustavo Petro agreed to all of Trump’s demands.

Hours after threatening punitive tariffs, the White House said Colombia agreed to accept deported migrants and lifted the threat of new levies.
