Trump Deportation Row LIVE: Colombia Backs Down | PM Modi, Trump Speak | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A potential trade war between the US and Colombia has been averted after Colombia agreed to accept deported migrants, including those arriving on US military flights. The standoff began when Colombian President Gustavo Petro barred US planes from landing, prompting threats of punitive tariffs from President Donald Trump.

The White House hailed the deal as a major victory for Trump’s hard-line immigration policy, which prioritises mass deportations. The agreement underscores Trump’s demand for global cooperation in accepting deported citizens. Tariffs on Colombian exports remain on hold, contingent on the country honouring its commitment.

Also: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with US President Donald Trump over the phone. This is the first phone call between the two leaders after Trump’s inauguration last week.
