The President of Colombia offered his plane for the deportation of migrants following pressure from the United States.

The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has agreed to provide his presidential plane for the repatriation of Colombian migrants from the United States. This was reported by Fox News.

The initiative was a response to statements made by the US President Donald Trump regarding the imposition of strict economic tariffs against Colombia for refusing to accept deportation flights with migrants.

The publication notes that the introduction of tariffs forced the Colombian president to change his stance on accepting deported citizens. It is highlighted that the pressure prompted Colombian authorities to cooperate on this issue.

In an official statement released by the Colombian government, it was mentioned that the plane will be used to ensure a "dignified return home" for migrants deported from the US.

Recall that the conflict began after American authorities sent two military planes with Colombian citizens as part of a deportation program.

In response, the American president Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all goods entering the US from Colombia.
