Trump Withdraws Tariff Threat on Colombia Following Agreement
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – The White House declared late Sunday that President Donald Trump has decided against implementing tariffs and certain sanctions on Colombia following their agreement to accept deported migrants from the US on US military aircraft.
The White House stated, “Colombia 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 US military aircraft, without limitation or delay.”
Previously, Trump had issued threats of severe tariffs and travel bans on Colombia following their refusal to allow two US military deportation flights to land.
The White House later announced that the proposed measures—which included imposing a 25% tariff on all Colombian goods entering the United States, and threatened to escalate to 50% within a week—would be “held in reserve and not enacted.”
However, visa restrictions on Colombian government officials will continue “until the successful return of the first planeload of Colombian deportees.”
Earlier, President Gustavo Petro had insisted that deported migrants must be treated with dignity, leading to his refusal of US military deportation flights.
He reiterated that Colombia would accept deportees via civilian flights without criminal-like treatment and offered a presidential plane to ensure their humane return.
Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo later confirmed, “We will continue to receive Colombians who return as deportees, guaranteeing them decent conditions.”
In response to the recent deportation controversy, leftist Honduran President Xiomara Castro urgently summoned a meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to be held next week in Tegucigalpa.
Colombian President Petro has confirmed he will attend in person. This meeting coincides with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s inaugural international trip to Central America.
