The President of Colombia has chosen to swiftly reverse course related to a decision about accepting flights from the US filled with deported migrants.
The news comes after Donald Trump issued a clear threat and warning of heightened emergency tariffs of up to 50% if the South American nation chose not to cooperate.
This really resulted in a swift turn of events where he offered to send his own private plane to retrieve those still remaining in the country.
Gustavo Petro not only obeyed Trump’s demands but also offered to personally overlook the matter of shuttling migrants back to the nation, referring to the decision as a call to the government’s commitment to ensure decent conditions.
The government of Colombia under the direction of President Gustavo Petro ended up arranging his plane for the matter to help facilitate a more dignified return of the migrants who were set to arrive in the nation today in the morning, coming from deportation flights.
In reply to that, the administration under Donald Trump shared how it would not be choosing to follow through with sanctions and tariffs, as long as Colombia obeys commands and accepts its part of the deal.
