The only article that I could find where the source wasn't explicitly "the whitehouse says" was BBC where they just said the Columbia hasn't affirmed that they changed the terms after the tariff threat but also didn't deny that they did.

They won't, admitting they refused changes would shatter Trump's fragile ego and get them tariffs again which benefits no one.
