Under threats from President Trump that included steep tariffs, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia relented and will allow U.S. military planes to fly deportees into the country, after turning two transports back in response to what he called inhumane treatment.

The Colombian President's demand was no shackles and no military flights. Trump caved.
But truth hurts your pro Trump agenda.
Is this what passes as quality reporting these days?

Do better, NY Times - stop being a Trump apologist.
Trump: Trade war!
Colombia: OK
Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights
Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?
Trump: They gave in!
I meant to say that, Trump then went back to the previously agreed upon conditions.
Man, I know I needed more tea, but whoa! that was one messed up sentence.
Someone want to call him in to comment on this hard-hitting reframe? I'd do it, but he blocked me.
What actually happened is Trump did a shitty thing, then manufactured a problem and postured with threats of tariffs. Columbia’s leader swatted Trump down. Trump caved, and then claimed a victory. Then, you reported it as such.
He made deals with Harris and has always assisted with deportations
What he did was send US planes home and say he’d fly them in the Presidential jet to make a point about their treatment .. and go back to how it was
trumps theatre had to step back and be quiet
One day, Trump will fall, and we won’t forget how you enabled him.
In about 1 year, countries will laugh at the same tariffs threats … we just need to be patient coz, make no mistake, countries also prepare their retaliation…

The NYT has no credibility as a news organization and should be completely ignored.
The headline is misleading I think.
also - trump had returnees with foot and hand cuffs which was a change from biden who did not rough them up.
Gustavo got what he wanted and they met his demands. Jfc.
Here you go since the earlier news reports we're sufficiently progressive for you
And the fact that the actual story is burried somewhere around the 14th paragraph of the article is not an excuse.
1. Identify a problem that already has a solution.
2. Ignore solution, create fuss, issue demands.
3. Wait for pre-existing solution to be reiterated.
4. Claim victory, restate status as king dealmaker.
5. Watch as media regurgitate White House press release claiming victory.

Trump: arglebargle 25% tariffs
Petra: Bite me. 50% tariffs on American products.
Trump: waaaahhh
Some victory 🙄
Not even trying to be a legit news source anymore, eh?
Me: No, if you need to shit, use the bathroom.
Trump: then I’ll be mean to you
Me: k, I’ll be mean back
Trump: *shits in bathroom*
NYT: Ton backs down after threat and allows Trump to shit in house.
Fixed your header.
... and.. "what 'HE CALLED' inhumane treatment"??
They were shackled and prevented from using the restroom during flight.
what does the style guide say about "inhumane treatment"?
Wtf is wrong with you that you can't report simple facts?
As NYT became a member of Trump's fascist team, telling people the truth seems to be off the table.
