One plane, flying from San Diego, California, brought home 110 Colombians and the other, which departed from El Paso, Texas, brought home 91, the Colombian Foreign Ministry said on X.

The diplomatic drama that began over the weekend provided clues on how Trump would deal with countries standing in the way of his immigration policies.

The nations spent much of the day in a tense standoff, with the U.S. president threatening tariffs and visa restrictions after Colombia turned away two deportation flights.

The U.S. and Colombia pulled back from the brink of a trade war on Sunday after the White House said the South American nation had agreed to accept military aircraft from San Diego carrying deported migrants.

The Trump administration responded by threatening to slap punitive tariffs on Colombian exports to the US. President Petro at first said Colombia would retaliate by imposing tariffs on US goods, but the White House later announced that Colombia had agreed to accept migrants - including those arriving on US military aircraft - "without limitation or delay".
