The US paused sanctions on Colombia after its government agreed to accept deportation flights, including those on US military aircraft. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Colombia's unconditional compliance with President Donald Trump’s terms. While tariff orders remain on hold, visa restrictions on Colombian officials and enhanced customs inspections will persist until the first deportee flight is completed. Trump emphasized this as a testament to America’s renewed global respect, stating, “We will protect our sovereignty.” The agreement marks a significant shift in US-Colombia relations amidst Trump’s firm immigration policies.
