I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

They are mad..... They should be mad at Biden and the globalist for losing 100,000 kids!! For sex trafficking....?

Trump is anti-crime, but the left and CNN are so anti-Trump that they are fully pro-criminal. This is why the democrats lost in 2024 big time, and will lose again in 2026 and forward if they don’t gain common sense.

Why a Tariff? just tell them you don't want their products anymore. Columbia i doubt can afford to straight up lose that.

*CNN how many billions of dollars did you lose last year* ?? It's because you report news stories like this LIES and misreporting, and fake news, and you have the most obnoxious news anchors.....we get our real news from YouTube now never from CNN anymore

All of you making less than 100k/yr-you're f'ed. You'll be on food stamps and lose your house in just 6 months.

Because of this modi will lose 2029 lok sabha election.

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.

Hey this is smart Hey look at all those jobs out there do you want them any about next voting put exterior maintenance law new government division put your name phone number and address and when they call you tell him you stand behind it better than losing your house is there a bad enough that they make money off of our artists listen to Tom McDonald's watch first post vantage\nNow you have the power to teach them how to suffer

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

Columbia is matching those tariffs. USA thinks they can bully other countries. You cannot, bit nobody has to accept it. USA will lose a tariff / trade war as other countries will fill those trade gaps like human beings and not dollar store dictators

North America, are losing all the friends countries

Imagine if Columbia removed all U.S. nationals and sent them back to the U.S. And if we lose immigrants, labor prices and product costs will go up.

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.

And Columbia will issue tariffs on the US to match, as well as take its trade to other countries more favorable to them! The USA loses because Trump is the biggest loser! Anyone who thinks that a man who lost the fortune his father gave him and bankrupted 5 companies, one of which was a casino, will be able to grow the US economy is uneducated, ignorant of the facts and truth and doesn't understand economics! CNN has a duty to tell the truth. Instead it is part of Trump's propaganda machine. Trump is not a king, he is a clown, a felon, fraudster, rapist, pedophile and cannot be trusted with a penny.

They have more to lose. It was a stupid move for Columbian President.

As an Australian, I can't wait until he decides to impose tariffs on our exports.\n\nThe US quickly losing any allies. What's that now, Canada, all of South and Central America, Denmark.\n\nYou guys in the media over there turning a blind eye to his actions should be worried. Soon he will turn on you too.

Trump will lose you cannot bully your way world wide. Trump has NO negotiating skills he just short pays contracts locally America is doomed with the orange ? at the helm

What gives the US the authority over others to put sanctions ? The US dollar is the answer to that question. \nCan the US service its stupid debt if they lose the privilege they don’t deserve of having the US dollar being the world’s currency? \nFinally, will the US dollar survive Trumps 2nd Presidency?

yes raise revenue like last time lost us 4 billion in trade this time he lose alot more

Columbia exports about 14 billion dollars worth of products to the US. Meanwhile, the United States exports over 20 billion dollars annually to Columbia, so who's going to lose here? This man is going to turn the world against us.

So I pay an extra $1 for a mango, for every 10 Columbians that lose their job? Seems like an efficient use of my taxes. I approve!

Won't cost more to america, colombian product would be so expensive that is not gonna be able to compete so no one is gonna buy it and they'll lose his biggest market

Thank God go back please!!?? ? \nWe won't lose any sleep.

How is Columbia going to grow coffee in the US? Coffee lovers of the world unite, you've nothing to lose but your tea cup.

TRUMP W KEEP LOSING LOSERS ?

America Wins! FAFO. If youre another country dont make this an adversarial relationship. Trump isn't the type to back down and you will lose.

consumers have choices...as well as the importers , supermarkets etc they just wont buy any Columbian products and Columbia will lose out. The Government of Columbia knows this would have happened and that's why they have already folded.

All these countries don't realize the USA can survive without them. OH NO! not my papaya and mango. The USA is very self sufficient, we just might live without some luxuries. While they lose Foreign Aid and exports to the USA. except Israel of course (we all know why.)

Until CNN stands up to Trump and its MAGA sickos you are going to keep losing viewers and you should. You went after Biden non stop to old. Never questioned Trumps mental decline and his calls to take down the country. I hope the pay back is worth the ratings. You bent the knee on the lawsuit that you would have won to kiss the ring. Hate to see people lose jobs, but hope you go belly up. FAFO

They dont want to lose the remittances from the illegals.

They would lose LOTS of business as US buys a ton but we also produces it’s our own. Why they already backed down in under 1 hour. \n\nTariffs are used as a weapon, not a tax, because people will stop buying and buy elsewhere. Ultimately it becomes cheaper or the same to buy US made items meaning more U.S. workers.

RUSSIA and CHINA will buy the goods and we will lose again

Trump wins Americans lose.

Uh oh Mr Juan Valdez is going to lose his donkey and get his own pull wagon for the coffee ?!!!!!

Coffee lovers lose their minds!

This is so stupid, if trump’s solution to international affairs is to imposed tariffs on the countries who don’t bend to his will, most countries will be smart and form an alliance to just cut the u.s. out and spread the wealth within that alliance. Trump is going to lose all of our trade partners, and bring us to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Trump hit all the country in the world... Trump alone against the universe. \nBut Trump lose his ball when his in face with all person he has insulted...\nOnlu stupid reds caps without brain don't see that...

I rarely LOL but hearing about an immediate 25% tariff on goods today and 50% next week actually did it. Talk about losing popularity… wait until everyone has to pay 25-50% more for their coffee. Cocaine will be spared because I’m pretty sure cartels aren’t paying duties and tariffs on their imports.

So if it carries on like this, Donald Chaos is going to be applying trade tariffs against many of his neighbors for not taking back their migrants that the US needs to keep their domestic economy afloat? So it'll be costing the US at least an equivalent cost increase to continue buying goods from Columbia (and other countries as yet unknown to add to the list) until the US has no sources left to switch to that are un-tariffed and more economic.\nThese countries will just sell their goods elsewhere if the US doesn't buy them, so the American consumer loses out and pays to finance this fiasco in the making = US price inflation. \nSo falling out with your neighbors is how to make America great again is it?\nWhat sort of successful businessman works like this and succeeds? Donald Chaos, the Art of The Fail.

A losing president of the United States America

Liberals Crying Over Starbucks Coffee???\nDont lose your mind yet losers,Their president caved and sending his plane to take back the illegals.

Bananas???? I’ll skip bananas. coffee??? I drink Folgers lol Columbia will lose money

A lose, lose situation‼

You Trump haters really do hate America.. This is typical SICK CNN. Losing big time just doesn't matter.

Trumps joke of a presidency is losing ground just like the meme coins his magats are losing their life savings on LOL ROTF thats what happens when you give your money to a felon LOL

CNN and its viewers are dumb…this is why you lose.

Trump is just shoving MORE countries to belong to BRICS. Just like Cuba who can now tell the USA to kiss their ass with all those sanctions. In the end Trump and the USA will LOSE A TRADE WAR. Canada is ready to discontinue ALL oil sent to the USA making gas prices go HIGHER here. US consumers pay the tariffs.

I bet that Donald Trump will lose all of its diplomatic relations due to its own bad policies.

D t is losing
