Two Colombian air force aircraft sent to the United States landed to bring migrants deported in the capital, Bogota.
The immigrants on American military flights went to Colombia on Sunday, when the Colombian President Gustavo Petro prevented the US military plane from landing, on the pretext that those on board were treated like criminals.
This incident took the two countries to the edge of the trade war after Donaltromb threatened to impose a 25 % tariff on Colombian goods and said he would move in kind.
The diplomats from both countries reached a deal that witnessed that Colombia was sending its own air aircraft to gather migrants, an operation that Petro said they dealt with them with “dignity”.
“They are Colombians, free and generous, and in their homeland where they are loved.”
He also posted pictures of migrants coming out of the plane without handcuffs.
It seems that the treatment of the deportees on American military flights was at the center of the dispute between the two governments.
Colombia accepted deportations from the United States in the past: In 2024, 124 aircraft carrying migrants who were deported from the United States in the country fell.
But in one of his publications on Sunday on Sunday, Petro pointed to a news video showing that the migrants who were deported from the United States to Brazil, who were assigned to the hand and their feet were restricted during the deportation trip.
The Colombian leader said he “will never be allowed to return Colombians to the hands on flights.”
Pro Barrow refused to allow the American military land to be angered by President Trump, who carried out a promise to remove illegal immigrants from the United States through “collective deportations”.
Trump directed his “immediately” 25 % rows on all Colombian goods coming to the United States, which he said would increase to 50 % after a week.
He also imposed other visa restrictions and penalties, while many observers felt it was an attempt to send a message to other countries to cooperate or face severe consequences.
“This was a reminder of Colombia that there is a price to pay it if you face your agreements, and things are promising,” said US State Department spokeswoman Tami Bruce Fox News on Monday.
The US embassy in Bogota canceled hundreds of visa dates on Monday and Tuesday.
The Associated Press reported that the Colombians who reached the gates were delivered letters that they told that the cancellation “because of the Colombian government refused to accept return trips to the homeland in the Colombian citizens.”
US officials said earlier that the visa restrictions would not be raised until the immigrants who returned on Sunday in Colombia fell.
The United States or the Colombian government did not provide the details of the deal, which led to the motive of the situation.
White House press secretary Caroline Levit wrote in a statement that “the Colombia government has approved all the conditions of President Trump, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal foreigners from Colombia returned from the United States, including US military aircraft, without restricting or delaying,” .
Meanwhile, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Morillo said that “the predicament” with Washington has “overcomed it.”
Morello added that his government will continue to receive the Colombian deportees in “generous conditions”.
It is not currently clear whether Colombia will continue to send air force aircraft to the United States to collect immigrants who were deported or if they were two travelers on Tuesday once.
Central and South America leaders are expected to discuss how to deal with the Trump administration’s migration policy at a summit held by Honduras in the wake of Colombia’s dispute.
President Petro has already confirmed his presence.
