WASHINGTON () President Donald Trump is set to meet with top Republican leaders on his agenda this week.

House GOP leaders indicated that they aim to move Trump’s legislative agenda encompassing extension of the 2017 tax cuts, energy policy, and border policy in a single bill through the budget reconciliation process, rather than split it into two pieces as some Republicans had wanted in hopes of delivering some Trump wins faster.

Trump is expected to speak to the Republicans on Monday evening. The policy retreat is set to end Wednesday morning.

The meetings, taking place at the Trump National Doral just outside Miami, come a day after Trump threatened Colombia with tariffs after it denied the entry of U.S. planes carrying Colombian migrants. Shortly after, Colombia reversed its decision.

Trump threatens Colombia with tariffs 

On Sunday, Colombia President Gustavo Petro wrote in a post on X that he was denying the entry of American planes carrying Colombian migrants into the country, stating the U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals.

Hours later, Trump responded in a Truth Social post threatening 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from Columbia, raising that to 50% after one week. Additionally, he threatened a travel ban on Columbian government officials, visa sanctions on family members of the Columbian government and enhanced customs and border protection inspections of all Columbian nationals.

Almost immediately Colombia reversed its decision. The government wrote on X that Trump is providing a presidential plane for the dignified return of his fellow citizens, after turning away two U.S. military deportation flights. The U.S. military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each with about 80 migrants to Guatemala on Friday.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserts the U.S. is committed to “bolster America’s border security.” The White House said Monday that the tariffs and sanctions are on hold and won’t be signed unless Columbia fails to honor the agreement.
