The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S., hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.

Trump had threated to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia, which would rise to 50% in a week, unless it agreed to accept deported migrants.

The United States will not impose sanctions and tariffs on Colombia after the nation agrees to accept deported migrants from the US, the White House press secretary confirms.
