    Bullshit, no capitulation. Colombian president refused to accept deportees by military transport on humane grounds. Both threatened tariffs, Trump ‘capitulated’ and agreed to put them back on commercial flights, which is how it always has been - Colombia accepting deportees. Don’t buy into this myth the media is creating.

    I mean… he didn’t ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.

        Huh? What are you talking about? That’s not a statement trusting Trump. The headline implies the flights were rejected. They weren’t. Drink more coffee dude. It’s Trump’s propaganda that they were rejected.
