Monday morning. Too much news. Went to bed to someone standing up to the Bully-in-Chief, but seem to have backed down. Gutted.

@eclectech Not exactly! The reporting on this has been horrible.
The LA Times has a decent summary, though:
"The two sides rushed into late-night negotiations. Late Sunday, they agreed to a series of conditions and said the flights would resume. The White House said Petro had accepted all of Trump’s terms. Colombia said it had received assurances of the 'dignified conditions' that Petro had demanded."
"The flareup seemed unnecessary to many observers. Colombia has long been one of the United States’ most loyal allies in Latin America, and it has also received hundreds of deportation flights in recent years."
"For Petro, a leftist, the red line appeared to have been the sudden use of military flights to carry out the expulsions. And he objected to Colombian nationals being treated 'like criminals.' It was unclear if the agreement reached would return to the use of civilian aircraft, usually in the form of charters."

@jeridansky @eclectech Yeah, and Mexico did essentially the same thing as well, refusing military flights.
