Border control and immigration are absolutely a major issue that needs to be addressed. For instance, Canada should have been on top of border control a long time ago. Safety for Canadiand AND Americans. But Canada can't just give in. Where does it end. Everytime Trump wants something he is just going to keep threatening with tariffs. Do as i say or 25% tariffs. This is not a way to deal with other countries.

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

Go Columbia, Mexico.\nThe world needs to tariff Trump and as a felon refused entry rights.\nWhy should the world accept US criminals just because they are president.

The two flights to Mexico that got turned away carried less than 100 migrants cost US taxpayers $900,000! CNN might want to mention that. Drumpf used expensive military jets because he just couldn't wait for CBP jets (because he wanted a photo shoot!). He should have to pay for the extra cost out of his pocket, not ours. What will it cost to take migrants back to China? Tax cuts for the billionaire broligarchs cost US money. Using C-130 aircraft is overkill and affects military readiness. Threatening tariffs on our allies is going to spark trade wars. He's a moron.

So he’s going to tariff cocaine I guess ?

What a man president trumps probably the best American president ever .cnn why do you not report that less than a hour after saying he was going to introduce tariffs on Columbia . There president agreed to take them back . And this was 3 hours ago . CNN Why do you to continue to lie to the American people and the world .what a disgusting so called news channel you are

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Why are you not mentioning that Colombia has retaliated with tariffs also? Your joke of a POTUS is going to destroy your economy. Congratulations.

NiCE GOING MAGA….YOUR PRESIDENT JUST GOT SLAPPED IN THE FACE BY COLUMBIA , AND WE ARE GOING TO PAY FOR TARIFFS….AINT THAT WHAT YOU WANTED….. MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN….MAGA CAN PICK BANANAS AND CHERRIES….SO GET TO WORK …..YOUR ANCESTORS WILL BE PROUD…..?

Coffee prices and tariffs are not going to be enough to move prices

Trump's tariffs will hurt America. Columbia's will probably hurt Columbia, too. That's why it's called a trade war. It's a conflict of economic attrition. Who hurts the worst the longest usually folds; but a depression can also be triggered by such, as Herbert Hoover's tariff fought trade wars contributed to the Crash of 1929. So are we dancing toward catastrophe? Possibly. Go ahead and laugh. Personally I'll wait for my schadenfreude - it'll be delicious. ???

When prices go up, Trump will blame the Democrats for over regulations. If Columbia/Mexico/China/Canada plays chicken with Trump and back off the tariffs first, Trump will drop his tariffs and claim victory. Trump's base will eat this up!

Not only Colombia, the whole US imports are going to have tariffs because he thinks that tariffs are paid by countries not local consumers, the USEXIT is finally here!

Thanks for raising my grocery prices, this loser wants to fight everyone with tariffs like a chihuahua… If they all get together they’re going to trash the USA economy. Guy can’t do nothing right!!!

lol… he will impose tariffs left and right… USA will be isolated like no other. Way to go dumbass.

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

American citizens are the ones that are going to pay for the tariffs

Columbia is just going to hit us with tariffs. Trump is going to isolate America from the world. He wants us to be big North Korea

Columbian companies aren't going to pay for the tariffs. Americans are.

lol Americans are so uneducated and think the tariffs are going to help them reduce the cost of goods ??????

First of all he is President Trump you know just like you referred to Biden as President Biden and not Joe Biden . Secondly the tariffs that were going to be imposed on Columbia , that wasn’t a threat it was a promise . Apparently they have forgotten about who they are trying to push around because those days are long since gone.

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

Trump and the MAGA morons should look up the meaning of trade in a dictionary. There is a give and take, there’s buying and selling, that meets the needs of both parties. Trade tariffs is not how anyone with common sense wants to deal with any and every minute dispute like a senseless toddler. Both sides get hurt. Even the tariffs on Russia hurt other countries that imposed them too and that was a calculated move because the war calls for extreme measures.\nWhat the Trump sycophants that probably can’t read need to know is that Colombia accepted hundreds of these flights in the last few years. The only reason they pushed back now is on human indignity. This is the first they received a flight with their civilians cuffed up like animals. The Colombian president said that is not how you treat humans, at least not my people, send them back in a civilised way where they are not dehumanised and we’ll take them. He even sent his own planes later and took them back.\nA sane leader would order his team to review the process and advise them of appropriate measures going forward. An insane, thin skinned snowflake throws tantrums in their diapers and these Trump tariffs are precisely that. Sure, this will reduce the cost of living for the idiots that voted for him ??‍♂️

correction Americans have been hit with Tariffs from Trump. food product prices going up.

Trump needs to learn the world is not at his knees. He is an obnoxious bully who thinks he and he alone can save the world. In less than one week he has insulted, threatened and lied so many times I lost count. Releasing convicted criminals who amongst other things, assaulted police officers. All this from a convicted felon! Well Donnie, go ahead and impose your tariffs on the world. America, because of you has become a pariah amongst the rest of the world.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

Columbia places tariffs on America! Maga is going to find out fast!who pays tariffs!

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

Dump supporters are going to feel the tariffs real soon?

Columbia isn’t going to win a tariff war with US

The Columbian president made himself look stupid...I hope Trump doesn't take the tariff off to show other countries what's going to happen to them too..if they mess around and find out ??

And this idiot. He is going to destroy the US Expect a spike in U.S. gas prices if Trump tariffs come in: Alberta premier

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

???? man i would of laughed my balls off i would of been go ahead 90% tariffs nooooo problem

???? i would of called trump and told him to increase the tariffs to 90% because all we know they dont pay the tariffs we do. lmmfaooo price of coffee and cocaine going up

The tariff scared the Colombians our planes are going to land and they can have all their illegal aliens back

Can you guys report that this was a loss for Trump because the Colombian president said that he has no problem putting a tariff right back onto us. And then got his way by having the Colombians deported in a more humane way. Maga, it’s going to think this is a victory when it’s not and really, it’s just hurting the American people.

Why should this surprise us? That’s what a convicted Felon who is president of the United States is going to do. He’s an authoritarian and he thinks everything needs to be done his way. Well now we’re going to pay the price here come the tariffs.

And who's going to carry the Tariffs on Columbia yes the Americans ?

Now coffee is going up in price. ??\nTrump still has no idea how tariffs work. He’s punishing Americans because he can’t get his way with other countries.

Columbia is telling Trump he can go to hell and shove his tariffs up his ass. That Columbia is a Sovereign country and he can kiss their ass.

He is going to tariff all world and in the end he is going to tariffs himself.\nRidiculous .

Well when our nation economy begins to suffer these tariffs will go away. It is stupid to do this.

I'm going to fix the economy!... With tariffs smh

And If Trump puts a tariff on Brazil and Brazilians, there are going to be a lot of unhappy husbands....LOL

Tariff everyone Trump. Let the prices go crazy and then see what people think about your grand orangeness.

so he's going to slap tariffs on all countries that don't bend to him. lets see how that works out. all countries will dump USA goods for china and other countries. ??

Less than an hour later, Colombian president folds, and is even going to use his own presidential plane to assist in the deportations . Another narrative shot down, the efficacy of tariffs fully being exemplified at the moment. Time to focus on crying families again because you got smashed on this narrative and rather quick I must say.

This is what the Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool, Trump is using tariffs as a leverage. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Which is why the Colombian President 'Gustavo Petro' has already folded to Trump and has reversed his decision to allow 2 military transport planes to land there after being threaten with tariffs, serious sanctions etc. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate.

Americans will be going on a forced diet , food /groceries prices about to skyrocket . Between the large % of field workers afraid of I.C.E. so not going to work ,produce is rotting , so shortages will be huge and then tariffs starting Feb 1st . Thanx MAGA for putting this dangerous buffoon and dictator wannabe in The Oval Office . Your chosen ignorance affects ALL Americans who now must pay the consequences of your hatred and stupidity . Stop chanting “ We won Libs, get over it .”
