US And Colombia Finalise Deal On Deportations, Both Pull Back From Possible Trade War

The United States and Colombia avoided a potential trade war on Sunday after the White House announced that Colombia had agreed to accept military aircraft transporting deported migrants. US President Donald Trump had previously threatened tariffs and sanctions against Colombia in response to its earlier refusal to allow military flights carrying deportees as part of his broad immigration crackdown. However, in a statement released late Sunday, the White House confirmed that Colombia had agreed to accept the migrants, prompting Washington to withdraw its planned penalties.
