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 White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S. on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs on imports and other sanctions on the longtime U.S. partner.

U.S. authorities on Friday removed dozens of migrants through a border crossing in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and Mexican authorities immediately placed them on buses and drove them south, away from Juarez.
