French far-right leader Marine Le Pen said France should follow U.S. President Donald Trump's hardline stance toward countries unwilling to receive deportees, citing his pressure on Colombia as a model for Paris' dealings with Algeria.

The White House claimed victory in a showdown with Colombia over accepting flights of deported migrants from the U.S., hours after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.

Trump had threated to impose 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia, which would rise to 50% in a week, unless it agreed to accept deported migrants.
