Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Drops Tariff Threat After Colombia Backs Down on Migrant Dispute
Caption: US Drops Tariff Threat After Colombia Backs Down on Migrant Dispute. The United States has called off plans for a 25% tariff on Colombian goods after Colombia agreed to accept deported migrants on U.S. military flights. The dispute began when Colombian President Gustavo Petro blocked two deportation flights stating his country would only receive citizens on civilian planes and without treating them as criminals. Following a tense exchange, Colombia consented to unrestricted acceptance of deportees with assurances of maintaining their dignity. The White House praised the deal as a win for Trump’s firm stance while Colombia’s foreign ministry framed it as a resolution to the impasse. President Petro had earlier criticized what he called a “blockade” by Trump on social media. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
