Colombia and U.S. presidents Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro clash over deportation of migrants.

The two countries have traditionally been close partners in anti-narcotics efforts.

Trump says the measures are necessary because Petro ’s decision “jeopardized” national security.

Colombia accepted 475 deportation flights from the United States from 2020 to 2024 , according to advocacy group.

Colombia is one of the few countries with a trade deficit with the U.S. , of around $1.4 billion , according to trade data.

Colombia is the fourth -largest overseas supplier of crude oil, shipping about 209,000 barrels of oil per day last year .

It is unclear if Trump ’s tariffs are allowed under the agreement, which contains a dispute mechanism.
