 9/ **The U.S. resumed deportation flights to Colombia after Trump threatened tariffs, visa cancellations, and customs delays in response to Colombia's brief refusal to accept military flights carrying migrants**. Colombian President Gustavo Petro initially rejected U.S. deportation flights, citing concerns over "dignified treatment" after reports of migrants being shackled during transit. Colombia’s refusal stemmed from prior commitments under the Biden administration that deportations would respect migrants’ dignity, prompting Petro to offer Colombian planes for deportations while asserting sovereignty. Trump responded with threats of a 25% tariff on Colombian exports, including crude oil, coffee, and flowers, as well as visa revocations for Colombian officials. A late-night agreement allowed deportations to continue, with Colombia deploying its own planes to retrieve 201 migrants from the U.S. While Trump declared victory, Petro claimed to uphold the dignity of returning Colombians, saying "Migrants are not delinquents. They are human beings who want to work and get ahead in life."
