Trump 1 Colombia 0

CNN report:

Colombia has walked back from the brink of a damaging trade war with the United States, reaching an agreement on accepting deported migrants being returned on military planes, after a flurry of threats from President Donald Trump that included steep tariffs.

Colombia said Sunday evening it had agreed to “all of President Trump’s terms,” including the “unrestricted acceptance” of immigrants who entered the US illegally, after two US military planes carrying deportees were blocked from entering the country.

Trump started with a -4% approval rating in 2016. This time he is at +9%, which he never achieved in his first term, and may go even higher. The backdown by Colombia was swift and total.
