The U.S. and Colombia pulled back from the brink of a trade war on Sunday after the White House said the South American nation had agreed to accept military aircraft from San Diego carrying deported migrants.

The diplomatic drama that began over the weekend provided clues on how Trump would deal with countries standing in the way of his immigration policies.

Colombia's Foreign Affairs Ministry said the government was sending a Colombian Air Force plane to San Diego to pick up a group of Colombians who were on a deportation flight that was not allowed to land on Sunday morning.
