00:00A trade war started and apparently averted with Colombia overnight.
00:04The back and forth began over the weekend when Colombia blocked the arrival of U.S.
00:09deportation flights.
00:11President Trump then threatened 25 percent tariffs on Colombian goods that would rise
00:16to 50 percent within a week.
00:18Colombia quickly backtracked on their opposition and, according to the White House, quote,
00:22agreed to all of President Trump's terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all
00:28illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military
00:33aircraft without limitation or delay.
