Donald Trump claimed an early victory for a coercive foreign policy based on tariffs and hard power on Sunday after announcing Colombia had backed down in a dispute over migrant repatriation flights.

The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S., hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.

Trump had threated to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia, which would rise to 50% in a week, unless it agreed to accept deported migrants.
