Tensions flared between the United States and Colombia over deportation flights, leading to a visa standoff. Colombian President Gustavo Petro initially refused to allow U.S. Air Force planes carrying deportees to land, citing concerns over their treatment. This sparked a retaliatory response from the Trump administration, threatening tariffs and visa restrictions. After negotiations, Colombia agreed to allow the resumption of deportation flights, but the visa standoff remains unresolved.

Here are some of the key moments from President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day, from tea at the White House to his speech at the Capitol rotunda. “President Petro did not represent our interests,” said Elio Camelo, a U.S. visa seeker from the city of Cali who had traveled to Bogota for his appointment.
Petro also shared a video that showed another group of deportees reportedly arriving in Brazil with shackles on their legs. He said Colombia would only accept deportation flights when the United States had established protocols that ensured the “dignified treatment” of expelled migrants. Tensions decreased Sunday night following negotiations between the countries, with the White House saying in a statement that Colombia had allowed the resumption of deportation flights and “agreed to all of President Trump’s terms,” including the arrival of deportees on military flights.
