Colombia has denied entry to two U.S. military deportation flights, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department. The flights, carried out on U.S. military C-17 aircraft, were carrying about 80 Colombian migrants each and had departed from California, the defense official told NBC News.

BOGOTÁ, Colombia (AP) — A dispute over deportation flights from the United States to Colombia entered its second day on Monday, with the U.S. backing down on a threat to impose steep tariffs on Colombian goods after the South American nation agreed to accept flights of deported migrants from the U.S.

President Donald Trump said Sunday he is slapping an emergency 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from Colombia after the country’s president turned away two U.S. military aircraft full of detained Colombian migrants.

President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States would impose wide-ranging sanctions and impose tariffs against Colombia over its refusal to accept U.S. military aircraft with migrants being deported.

President Donald Trump posted threats against Colombia on his social media platform on Sunday after two U.S. military repatriation flights were prevented from landing.

When Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, refused military planes carrying deportees, infuriating President Trump, he revealed how heated the question of deportations has become.
