The US White House has explained that it has reversed the tariffs it imposed on Colombia after the country agreed to accept — without restrictions — deported migrants from the US. This comes after President Donald Trump ordered 25 per cent tariffs on all Colombian goods after its President barred two US military deportation flights from landing in

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.S. partner.

The United States and Colombia announced late Sunday they have reached an agreement to end their tariff standoff as the latter accepted to take deported nationals, with Bogota saying it will send the presidential plane to fly back the deportees whose rejected flights catalyzed the conflict.
