US-Colombia Trade War Averted After Deportation Deal

A potential trade conflict between the US and Colombia has been defused as Colombia agrees to accept US military flights for deported migrants. This resolution comes after tensions escalated when Colombian President Gustavo Petro barred two military planes from landing, prompting threats of tariffs from the Trump administration.

The agreement allows deportation flights to resume, easing fears of punitive tariffs that could have impacted both nations' economies. Analysts suggest this compromise reflects a strategic win for Trump's immigration agenda.
