Trump holds off on tariffs after Colombia agrees to take migrant planes

President Trump was triumphant in getting Colombia to accept deportees from the United States late Sunday after the Colombian president railed against Mr. Trump’s tariff and visa restriction threats because of the rejection of migrant planes.

In a Sunday night statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Colombian government “has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay.”

She said Mr. Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all incoming Colombian goods, which would’ve been raised to 50% after a week, would be “held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement.”
