Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that Colombia was suspending permission for previously authorized U.S. deportation flights to land in Colombia. Ostensibly driving Petro’s action were concerns that Colombian nationals were not being treated with respect during the deportation process because they were being transported by military aircraft.

Colombia has walked back from the brink of a damaging trade war with the United States, reaching an agreement on accepting deported migrants being returned on military planes, after a flurry of threats from President Donald Trump that included steep tariffs.

President Trump won't impose tariffs on Colombia after the government agreed to accept Colombians deported from the U.S., White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced in a Sunday night statement reposted by the Latin America country's president.
