The White House says the Colombian government has agreed to President Trump’s terms after threatening tariffs.
In a statement, the White House said that the country agreed to Trump’s terms, including “the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States.” The statement also said that drafted actions on tariffs and sanctions would be held in reserve, and not signed, “unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement.”
Trump threatened retaliatory measures after Colombia denied entry to a pair of U.S. military deportation flights. The flights involved two C-17 aircraft which were carrying about 80 Colombian migrants each from California.
