- Conflict with Colombia and frustration with the pace of deportations. What the media is saying about Trump
U.S. President Donald Trump got Colombia to accept planes with deported migrants, starting to implement threats to impose high duties. At the same time, he remained dissatisfied with the pace at which detentions of newcomers inside the country are being carried out. Also, Trump came out with a plan for the resettlement of Palestinians and stated the desire of Greenlanders to become part of the United States. What the media write about the head of the White House - in the digest of "Izvestia".
Bloomberg: Trump achieved from Colombia to receive deported migrants
The expulsion of migrants from the United States has led to a conflict with Colombia. The president of the South American country, Gustavo Petro, refused to allow the landing of two military planes with deported fellow citizens, objecting to the use of shackles and handcuffs. In response, Trump threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on goods from Colombia, including oil, flowers and coffee. It was soon reported that Colombia had given permission for the planes to land.

Trump's move to quickly threaten tariffs <...> served as a stark reminder of his willingness to use economic tools to achieve geopolitical goals. But his quick reversal also demonstrated why the president faces questions about his willingness to carry out threats.
The conflict with Colombia showed that Trump will continue to resort to threats of tariffs to resolve political differences. Against this backdrop, the Mexican peso and South African rand began to weaken against the dollar, while the Chinese yuan began to strengthen as Trump earlier refrained from immediately imposing duties on the PRC.
The Washington Post: Trump frustrated with pace of deportations
Trump administration officials have instructed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to dramatically increase the number of people being arrested - from a few hundred to at least 1,200 to 1,500 a day. It is alleged that the US president is unhappy with the pace of mass deportations he has promised. Grassroots managers in the service will be held accountable for failing to fulfill the plan.

Current and former ICE officials say the orders make it much more likely that officers will use less selective enforcement methods or face civil rights charges when trying to meet quotas.
White House "border czar" Tom Homan has previously said that ICE will not conduct mass roundups and that its officers will prioritize immigrants with criminal records and gang members. ICE agents are currently focusing on migrant detentions in Chicago.
CNN: Trump offered Jordan to build housing for Palestinians
Trump has offered Jordan's King Abdullah II to build housing and resettle more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza. He also intends to discuss the issue with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The U.S. president noted that the Gaza Strip is now a ruin that is impossible to live in.

Egypt's foreign ministry said in a statement Sunday that it rejects any forced displacement of Palestinians. The ministry did not specifically mention Trump, but reiterated Egypt's stance against "the displacement of Palestinians from their lands through forced evictions."
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi also said Amman opposes the transfer of Palestinians to its territory. Trump's proposal marks a reversal of a longstanding US policy that has sought to create two states - Israel and Palestine.
