Colombian President Gustavo Petro offered his presidential plane to facilitate the “dignified return” of Colombian migrants deported from the U.S., following retaliatory measures from former President Donald Trump.

Trump accused Petro of jeopardizing U.S. national security by rejecting the flights and promised further consequences if Colombia did not meet its legal obligations.
