Colombia, over the weekend, quickly caved to President Donald Trump, after the country had attempted to block Trump's deportations of illegal immigrants. 

Fox News reports that Colombia's president - Gustavo Petro - has now agreed to all of Trump's terms.

We will look at this in a moment.

First, though, will look at what happened.

Background

The Daily Mail reports that this situation started when both "Mexico and Colombia both refused to let [deportation] flights land in their countries."

"There were 80 migrants on board each of the two flights bound for South America when the aircrafts' clearances were pulled to land in Colombia," the outlet reports.

Trump responded with a statement that he released on social media. In the statement, he essentially promised a harsh response from the United States if Colombia does not take the deported illegal immigrants.

Trump, in part, wrote:

I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures . . .

The measures included such things as "Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States," " Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters," and more. Not only that, but Trump said that there was more to come.

That was fast

It was not long after Trump posted his message that Colombia all of a sudden had a chance of heart.

The White House released a statement saying that Colombia's president has agreed "to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay."

Accordingly, the White House said, "Based on this agreement, the fully drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement."

However, the White House added, "The visa sanctions issued by the State Department, and enhanced inspections from Customs and Border Protection, will remain in effect until the first planeload of Colombian deportees is successfully returned."

"Today’s events make clear to the world that America is respected again," the White House said.
