Why Trump held off on Colombia tariffs |
Disagreement between the U.S. and Colombia over President Donald Trump's mass deportations of migrants risked becoming a trade war, with both sides promising new tariffs on goods coming from the other country. The showdown started after Colombian President Gustavo Petro said his country wouldn't accept deportation flights from the U.S. unless migrants are "treated with the dignity that a human being deserves." Trump retaliated, saying he would slap tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from the South American country. In the tit-for-tat, Petro then responded with his own economic threats before finally agreeing to the "unrestricted acceptance" of U.S. military flights deporting Colombian migrants. Read more |

Early Saturday, Reuters reported two people with knowledge of the discussions said Trump's plan involves tapping software company Oracle and a group of outside investors to effectively take control of the app's operations. Under the deal being negotiated by the White House, TikTok's China-based owner, ByteDance, would retain a stake in the company, but data collection and software updates would be overseen by Oracle.

She's one of a dwindling number of Holocaust survivors, and as the world observes the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Monday, she knows that her message needs to be amplified for new generations so that those who suffered and died did not do so in vain.
