U.S. and Colombia Agree on Deportation Flights, Averting Trade War

The United States and Colombia reached an agreement to allow deportation flights via U.S. military aircraft, avoiding the Trump administration’s threatened trade penalties. This comes after Colombia initially refused military deportation flights, prompting President Trump to consider tariffs and sanctions. Colombia’s foreign minister announced that the impasse with the U.S. is resolved, and the government is prepared to receive deported Colombians. Colombian officials will visit Washington to solidify recent diplomatic agreements.
