I'm reading.\n Some of the comments. I know my opinion may not matter. But it may eh inside some people. I hope I guess the way that I would look at this is being in their shoes. It's completely different than ours. We are given opportunities from birth. Basically to common deer, the life that we would like to have well, at least most of us are. In the United States, people from degrading. Or degraded countries are not giving those opportunities. So I would imagine over the years. Any type of hope that they had for a great country is depleted. Solidarity in countries like that is not accepted it would be suppressed. It would be stormed on and smashed out by the you. See an opportunity to better your life and your children's life. And it's the fourth quarter and there's 2 seconds on the time clock. And you've only got one play to make. We all go for what the big hell, Mary and I think that's what these people are doing and God bless every one of them. That are good people. I feel sorry for this situation. I wish the world was a better place, but unfortunately it's not all we can do is pray for these individuals that hope that they find solace in what they're looking for. And we have to prefer ourselves also and pray that God takes care of our country.And theirs god bless everyone in this world

IF World War 3 comes. America will need these young men to help fight. the war ? Nobody knows which direction the world may be going. And it may not go in the Western world favour.

Sorry Trudeau your buddies have to go. Our jobs are for Canadians NOT your third world losers. We have better skilled workers in this country and they are called Canadians.

This is Bidens fault. Giving these people false hopes while breaking our laws. Yes, we are all immigrants but my ancestors went through rigorous screening. Mental and Physical health\n exams, documentation, literacy was required, no beggars. Everyone had to prove that they had a place to go and job skills. Better yet only a certain percentage of nationalities from every country was allowed. Country quotas were regulated. Meaning a variety of immigrants were coming here from around the world. The melting pot....NOT JUST LOW FUNCTIONING, LOW EDUCATED BROWN PEOPLE ..like the Democrats insist on today? And, drug trafficking, sex trafficking of children, weapons smuggling would have been grounds for life in prison or even execution. They still are everywhere else in the world.

Liberalism has permiated the world, and it is obvious the radicals like you, who should stick to covering your own country, are still having a hissy fit. Good! The days of the United States caving in to your BS is over. You better prepare, cuz there is a new sheriff in town here, and he is most definitely not playing around. People who think the US is going to continue to take everyone you can send here is over.\n Follow our laws and you are welcome. Ignore them and you are history.

Bible: let my people go through and through the world ?❤??

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Trump keeps declaring war on the whole world Hit the whole world is going to declare war on Trump he crossed the line a long time ago

The younger generations see war as a wasteful destructive endeavour. There really is NO reason in this day and age for wars to even exist. It comes down to crappy men, deluded by power, who are desperate to leave some mark on the world. It’s stupid, it’s wasteful, and against everything a Christian is supposed to stand against according to their faith. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. The second you break that one, you don’t get to go to heaven, ever.

First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

Do these people think they just have to choose where in the world they wan5 to live, go there, and take up residence? How stupid and moronic is that.

Why are almost indigenous peoples close to nature all over the world go almost naked?

Calm down, this is going to get worse. Now with Trump's threats and taxation and since before the Second World War, US foreign policy is to continue to fuel wars around the world, weakening economies and thereby indirectly financing hunger and unemployment. The plan will backfire. Wait and see!!!

In response to the ugly dictator running the US of North America , many of us around the world had decided not to buy products made in the US , here in Canada word is going around to try NOT to buy US products . \nMy phone is Apple , but made in Mexico , once my phone is dead I will be happy to switch to Samsung

They need too say there & fight the coupation in there own government , most countries in the world you try too charge in too a county they shoot you dead ! The illegal welfare here any more , illegal s go home or become a chaingang !

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

We’re going into an era where we’re going to learn the hard way, the world don’t give a fuck about the US anymore. And those counties are going to turn to Asia and South America for leadership.

One country cant save the world. They have there own country with there family and fellow country men/women. They need to save there own land. Fight for your people go home and change your country.

He is going to alienate America to the world because he's like a little child that doesn't get the lollipop

? exactly they don’t even their own people. That says something about the illegal criminals going to the US and to the world

Its a clear message for immigrants the world is economically shrinking instead of going abroad to make career it's better to make a career in its own country. For this one has to relocate him/her self within the country that's in a new city then go for it.

I am happy for Xi and Putin. ??? Stupidity sees no bounds in the United States under Trump. China will dominate the world for sure. Dare Trump to invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama to see how far he can go.

Where's the pepper spray, smoke grandees, flash bombs, rubber bullets.. no country in the world lets us just walk in on based on your sense of entitlement. Americans can't feed themselves right now, go make your own countries great again ffs.

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.

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

I knew that was going to happen. Trump thought he could just dump plane loads of people in another country. There's going to be a lot more resistance, not only here in the u.s. but around the world. The fascist and the oligarchs have to go. It's time to stand. Let's unite in large numbers.And we don't go till our demands are met. We'll put the whole country on hold. THE ART OF THE DEAL.

I can't believe that so many young children can be seen here! That's such a dangerous situation for parents to put them in! Apply for citizenship the right way so you can bring your family safely! Then, when your family is here with proper documentation, you'll be able to raise them in security without fear of deportation. I hate to see children going through this. They're at the mercy of their parents' judgement & things could be so much better for them if they weren't dragged through traumatic situations like this, just so their parents can cut corners. Why in the world can't you apply for citizenship the proper way? If your criminal record is the reason that you can't, well that's on you. If there are records of you pulling crap like this, you'll probably never be able to get here the proper way. Instead of choosing to be an actual American citizen, you'd rather choose to live your life as a fugitive & force your kids to live that way too? Give your family a real chance here by following the proper process to become citizens. You'll get a very different reception here.

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

First all the world wants to know is when Trump is going to pay China debt

How funny this would be if it wasn’t so frigging sad. This Orange Psychopath is going to dump the US into real deep trouble. Pretty damned soon he won’t be getting anything from any other place in the world. In fact an ideal situation would be for the world to isolate the US.

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.

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

President trump i was your fan,and im still your fan now and u will succeed its my own personal beliefs on you definitely will succeed, unfortunately not everyone going to fell the same good feelings for you, you cant win over every single human beings on this entire world,you can try harder anyway you can but i do apologise every body cant love you,good way not wad way why? You have give everything to others to make them smile? You are totally right about everything i do love your mentality keep giving, keep giving why? not keep receiving im sorry i changed the system completely i do apologise its new system's no moore extra help others every body is dead may true god be your side i know you believe in you own god jegus Christ its beautiful to believe in great lord jegus Christ easy rules, welcome to United States of America difficult to get there

Coffee cut flowers and petroleum products 7 billion dollars worth product a year to USA will go up. The issue is diplomatic relations because no non third world countries will allow military aircraft on their land if it’s not military or criminal activities. Deportations is not a crime in Columbia. So what Trump should have done was verify that before sending military aircraft The have agreed to take the people in a commercial plane. Trump is over reacting to it

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.

Where's the money in thier pockets go when they get picked up?\n\nI know, no surplus in the Northern New World sonce like, 2001, but are we that broke?

How will the MAGA cult feel when their coffee costs go thru the roof!! Is this making America great???? What a dummy. He is only gaining the wrath of the world! Proud of this Colombian president for standing up to Trump just like he stood up for Gaza. Bless him and the Colombian people!❤️?

Us Americans always think were untouchable! such arrogance is dangerous, we need the world more than the world needs us, were only 4.22% of the worlds population and only 6% of the wrolds land mass, BRICS is only getting stronger and is going away from the Dollar, do your research people, what good is producing products if the rest of the world doesn't want to buy them... lets treat humans as humans not like animals lets show some respect!

You work with other countries & they work with you. Act like you're a mob boss threatening allies & kissing enemies asses & the rest of the world is going to get it's back up & fight back. Columbia just wasn't playing the game of the strongman look Trump was trying by sending a military plane instead of a passenger plane.

It’s funny how US citizens don’t realize that they the only ones in the world that abuses of terms as “migrants” “illegals” “aliens” “border” The never talk in terms of humans of humanity…. They think humanitarian immigration crisis it’s only going on there. ….Otherwise the rest of the world doesn’t and is super open for diversity and no flags, how crazy ideological it has to be? But i get it on a place where there is literally a national flag in every 50 mts

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

MAGA cult are the new Nazi Party. \n\nThe whole world, including half of America is telling Trump to f** off. \n\nUnite against the common threat. \n\nWe have common goals. We have common values. \n\nThe world has a common enemy and they are outnumbered. \n\nWhen was the last time the world united to neutralize a tyrant? [history lesson] \n\nThis is not going to end well for him. \n\nSic semper tyrannis

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

a man who broke countless laws and raped a woman somehow ends up as President instead of in prison, and no he thinks he's on some crusade against illegal immigration. He is going to make the whole world hate us.

Why does everyone think prices will go up because of tariffs? Don't you know that America is the largest economy in the world, and this is the market everyone wants to participate in? it's a great thing that Trump realizes this, Thank you Donald J. Trump!

Trump is going to fight with everybody around the world...

Trump is going ruin the US and isolate the country from the civilized world. The executive order to put a yellow patch on all that don’t applaud him will come soon. But the rest of the world will stand up to this bully
