? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

What the Colombian president did is he showed compassion and kindess to those undocumented immigrants to be treated like actual persons that's why he offered the Convicted Felon/president Trump for those people to be brought to Colombia using presidential plane.

I hate to tell Columbia, but once Trump is done with deporting people to Columbia that is when they will get everything Trump suspended. In the end once he is done with columbia he will put tarrifs on them and ban flights from Columbia.\n\nPeople need a damn backbone he is using countries and its wrong. If you have people from mexico, they cannot make it to Columbia.

I understand their right to do that if they voted for it but why does Trump keep saying that Canadians need to secure the U.S. border when less than 1% of the migrants come from Canada and less than 0.01% of the fentanyl comes from Canada but illegals are coming from the U.S. into Canada and 90% of the guns used in murders in Canada came from America! Also 80-90% of the narcotics comes through the U.S.

I used to look forward to travelling in the US but the health care is an issue and since Trump has been on the political scene, I prefer to go elsewhere

I love it when CNN *pretends* to be a news network. They waste time reporting on fantasy scenarios that *never* happen. There is not a tariff war with Colombia. Trump was merely negotiating with the Colombian president using hardball tactics. Why is that so difficult to understand? These talking heads aren't real journalists.

All distractions while Trump is making tons of illegal money behind the scenes, using his presidency.

Oooops .... Trump didn't think about this ? Trump is hurting the good people of America who use cocaine ?

That didn’t take long. Trump comes up against another beta male and gets it done. Next time we should use a cargo ship.

The president of Columbia is being forced by Trump to use his own personal plane to make all the future trips to pick up his former inmates from America. Trump and America wins again and the tarifs work.

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.

My mother and her neighbor's house (in the Bronx) were both broken into last Month, the neighbor, An ex Marine, got his motorcycle stolen. Unbeknownst to the thieves, he had an apple air tag on his bike, the cops found his motorcycle, which he worked hard for, and other motorcycles in storage unit in the South Bronx, which was being used by a gang of illegal Venezuelans and Dominicans. Most people don't care about the illegal immigration crisis because it mostly affects black and brown communities sadly. Thank you Trump for sending these criminals back!!!

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 is using military aircraft to deport immigrants. That is the issue. If they sent them on commercial flights like it has been done for years, there wouldn't be a problem. Countries protect their sovereignty.

Explain it to them through THEIR lens. Thats what they care about. Here is an example: feel free to use it:\nYou buy a GE company bulb that is made in China for $10.\nNow trump imposes a 25% tariff on imports from China. \n1. Who collects the Tariff: The US Govt.\n2. Who pays the extra 25%? GE. \n3. Is GE a philanthrophic/charity organization? No. So why will they bear the cost of the exta 25%?\n4. So what do they do? Now your bulb costs $12.5.\n5. Why? Because 25% of 10 is 2.5. So 10+2.5=12.5\n6. What does this increase in price mean? Inflation.\n7. Wont this encourage make in America? No, because you deported immigrants and now you have to pay american wages. Suddenly your bulb costs $20 because GE pays minimum wage to an American. So yeah, now everything is made in America but you are homeless paying more for everything.

Trump is treating his country like his own business.\ni suspect he is trying to CRASH entire united states STOCK MARKET and all the businesses \n\nso that he can use his proxies to pick up all these businesses and buy stock at steep discount\ngiven he has the money and his immediate Musk is the richest person on earth. \nthey can ENRICH themselves but many many times. \nin the pretext of saving these companies.

The cost to use our military, quarter million, wasted, embarrassed Trump. How come no contact was made previously shows Trump had assumed he could force it. Sad. Presidents should be diplomatic, and talk to the other countries before sending them people. People, living people...

Trump is such a stupid f*** Every Tariff is money out of OUR pockets. For those who don't understand the billions of commodities we use from Columbia, is probably a Trump supporter. He is such a whinny little wuss. Pretending as if he is protecting Americans as he lets insurrectionist on the street. This will fail. He most certainly will fail.

Trump is using the military now just like hitler

How will everyday Americans react to the rising cost of Colombian imports due to Trump's tariffs? He's using us as pawns in his political game while hurting both U.S. consumers and Colombia.

This is the very reason why there will be more countries joining BRICs. Keep it up Trump, your diplomacy is well thought of. \nOops didn’t mean to use the word “think”. ?

CNN used to call Trump a joke. They're not laughing now. The man knows the power of his office and he's willing to use it.

Now, these countries will raise their prices to cover the cost of Trump's stupidity. American corporations will use this opportunity to price gouge, like they did with Covid. The costs to American consumers will double within the next year or two. Somehow, Trump will convince his idiotic cult of hatemongers that it is the fault of Democrats or immigrants, or anyone else who won't bow to him.

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

I’m gonna be drinking wine every night cause wow this is worth drinking wine to daddy trump already made him fold get use to it butter cups

Colombia was prepared to accept repatriation of its citizens, but only on civilian flights and without the people manacled. But Trump & Rubio wanted to use the military. And this trade war is the result. Maybe calmer heads will prevail in the next few days, otherwise coffee & corn prices are going to skyrocket...

Why do liberals struggle so much with this form of using tariffs to get positive result for our country? It’s right there I’m front of them and even if they see it happen, it still upsets them to see a Trump success. I really don’t see why they fight him or refuse to acknowledge his plans as working

Stop deporting immigrants fully in chains like you, the USA, are currently doing under Trumps administration. Deport using human conditons.

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.

Colombia already caved. I think in under an hour. They will take our planes with their people. Their President even said we could use his plane to deport. Way to go Trump!!

No. Military planes is threatening to any country!Colombia doesn't like the president sending them on military planes. He said he will accept the colombians if they are transferred in the normal planes migrants have always came back on. Actually the military planes cost us tax payers 20,000 a flight per hour. The traditional planes cost 8000. So just stick to the normal planes and everyone wins. It really is,all silly. Stupid news. Let's put some regulations on real estate market. So tired of drug money laundering used to buy homes and I cannot afford a home. This is just trump tv unnecessary drama!

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

It sounds like tariffs are being used to fit his pocketbook (Trump's) and not the average consumer who will be paying sticker shock prices for coffee, tea and other foods.

All about using money as a way of negotiating.\nMakes him feel powerful. Countries will get disgusted with Trump's threats and they will do business elsewhere\nBet Russia would appreciate more business

Trump is crazy use the 25th Amendment and remove Trump before he starts a war with our friends

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

So I guess using tariffs are now going to be the main threat with Trump if you disagree with him.

Trump thinks people shit like used under wear wear billionaires didn't care lady Burnt home billionaire can help fix sewer home

It just shows you how unplanned this was. To be in the air and have to turn around is embarrassing for Trump. He didn't have to use military planes. Had he used commercial flights, this wouldn't have happened. Let's see what this mistake by Trump does to the prices of food and other items.

It’s already over; Trump won. Colombian prez is using own plane to deport illegals now. ?

Trump needs to be removed using the 25th Amendment. He is about to tear the world apart. HE IS INSANE BEYOND THE CAPACITY FOR REASONABLE THOUGHT.

I know most of y'all's hate for Trump will not make you see the good thing in what he's done. You just going to keep talking about Colombian coffee costing more, even though Trump's strategy actually worked and the Colombian President used his plane to welcome his people

The Colombian President has rescinded his past post and is now even using his own plane to accept the illegal immigrants. Trump WIN

If trump uses tariffs he'll destroy the economy by making everything more expensive

Absolutely amazing... i used to hate trump i love him \nThey dont want thier own ppl but we should feed and house them .. why did the democrats do this

that is a bad move from trump, all these countries can turn their back to use dollar to trade and soon use the BRICS currency. deport is the right move, however deport with human dignity. Not all these ilegal Citizens are criminals, only a fraction of them

The world needs to stand up to Trump. They should stop all Trade to the USA. Keep their stock and reconstruct a world economic forum. If Trump doesn’t want to negotiate and honour trade agreements that he committed too, no one should commit to doing business. Just look to his history, he is a fraud and a bully. He used MAGA to get to where he is and now they are left with scrambled eggs and Bird Flu. Oh yeah, no public notice required - why inform the public of infectious and safety related health and food issues. Eating USA products is equivalent to Russian Roulette.

Biden Admin policies destroyed US and Pakistan. Trump Admin must use force to kick these back to Mexico. These South and Central America’s do not deserve to be an independent nations they should be US States.

My lord ….why people don’t understand about rules . Did everyone are forgetting about 911 !?!?? Do the right thing for better future nature.

We must use more Electric ⚡️ cars , to have better chance future rainy . ?

ask them to vote for good politicians like Trump in their own country, not corrupt politicians. Don't use the excuse that your country is bad for you as you vote for stupid public servants. Am I right Biden or Kamala loka? vote for a good politician that will serve your country not their own pocket...or pardoning family member, right Biden?
