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

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a late Sunday statement that the “Government of 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.”
