So many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

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!!!

He wants America dead. And will fight the ? to get it

WE THE PEOPLE of The United States of AMERICA back OUR PRESIDENT to do WHATEVER necessary to RESTORE OUR SAFETY & SOVEREIGNTY by Capturing & Deporting ANY & ALL ILLEGAL MIGRANTS back to their countries. If Columbia continues to behave this way its gonna get REAL F'UGLY. ?

He's not trying to get them to do America's bidding he is Macon them take back the criminals they sent us we have already withstood the highest inflation rate in history if I have to pay a little bit more at the grocery store to see these criminals sent back that's fine with me

? Mexico escorting illegals by the tens of thousands to our border, that needs to stop today! Have all the faith in the world that our President will get it done ??America is done with the BS.?

RETURN TO SENDER, \nBUT SENDER REFUSED?\nNo wonder Trump is right to get em out!\nImagine Columbia paying to return Americans it denied entry, only to have USA refuse to them to come home! \nTrump is right that many countries are taking advantage of America!

Wouldn't you check before you send them .... Or is it just to Distract !!!!!! America better get ready for the price hike on all there goods !!!

Democrats are the worst people. You allowed all these problems and your reasoning for not fixing them is it will raise prices. Democrats already raised price's. You didn't care about your failed policies causing inflation. C'mon Dems wake up. America or get out.

Well I guess people in other countires drink coffee and would aprecciate other goods that Colombia also has to offer. Colombia should unite to the BRICS and leave the US to get those products somewhere else. From what I see, America needs more from Colombia than Colombia from them. Believe me, there are other nations that want to do business with Colombia.

( YALL GETTING READY TO SEE THOSE CRYING AMERICANS WHO SAY “ THE FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING OUR JOBS “ OKAY THE JOBS ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE FOR YOU NOW GET OUT THERE AND WORK THOSE JOBS YOU CLAIM FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING . AMERICA GET READY FOR A FOOD SHORTAGE NOW AND TRUCKERS THERES \nGONNA BE SHORTAGE ON LOADS ALSO. Trump is\n Messing up something that helped America thrive for all these\n Many many many years. So now to you who were crying the foreigners taking our jobs OKAY THEY ARE GONE SO NOW THE JOBS ARE GONNA BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU LETS SEE IF THESE AMERICANS GET OUT AND NOW DONT THE WORK THE FOREIGNERS WERE DOING.

This is just the beginning.\nIf i would be a nation in South America, i would try to get together, maybe a Union like the EU ... also btw depending on how high those terrifs might become, maybe here in the EU might be alternativ buyers ^^.

These ppl came to America by foot, crate, and everything in between what dignity is she talking about? They came to America to get on welfare!

Get'em outta here! AMERICA ?? USA! USA!

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS INCOMPLETE REPORTING: The President of Colombia clearly said he would accept deportees IF they arrive on a passenger plane as has always been done and which costs less than half of the expense of a military plane. The problem is the United State’s insistence on using military planes. I swear folks, it’s just getting started: threatening to invade Panama, the closest ally in Latin America, threatening the prime minister of Denmark, a historic ally. Anyone remember Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland?

America will just turn to other nations to get the goods. Colombia isn't the only country that exports these goods.

Tariffs are used for negotiations, to try to get a better deal. The Pres. of Columbia will let the planes land. He can't defy America.

Well....Starbucks is gone and coffee is like likely to triple in price, I wonder what caffeine addicted MAGA are going to do now? What about wood prices....hard to make affordable housing without inexpensive wood, and that's not even counting the Crude oil we get...If the Man-Child in charge is going to tariff everyone who pisses him off the whole world is going to be in a trade war against us.... make america great again by alienating the whole world and causing everything we buy more expense....thats the plan.

south america has forgotten why the usa is a superpower. hopefully they get a taste soon

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .

Shits getting expensive in America. How much are eggs now?

donald is going to get america black-balled. you will be a pariah state.

So the oranges are rotting in the fields of California cause the migrants stopped showing up for work. Now the bananas are tariffed. Food in America is gonna get very expensive.

CNN already spreading leftist propaganda. Columbia has already folded and offered to fly them back with the President’s plane. Amazing what a President gets done when he puts America first and is not a weakling like our last one.

And all the lawyers and all the people are protesting to see that they stay in America and they come in illegally all the lawyers they should get arrested as well because you cannot come here illegally and they have lawyers working with them no get their lawyers arrested

THIS IS INSANE. WE DO NOT NEED THIS IN OUR COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS AMERICANS TO DEAL WITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BREAK OUR LAWS TO GET IN THE COUNTY.... THEY WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO BREAK THEM ONCE THEY ARE HERE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS TERRIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM RUSH OUR BORDERS HOWEVER... THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE... ALSO WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RELEASE OF THE PRISONS IN THOSE SOUTH AMERICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN PRISONS WHERE THEY TOLD THE PRISONERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES THAT IF THEY CAN GET ACROSS THE AMERICAN BORDER THEY WILL BE FREE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND GIVEN FREE SHOT AT A LIFE IN AMERICA AND NOT IN PRISON.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET ACROSS THAT BORDER ALSO

Now we need to get rid of existing illegal aliens in our communities. I'm sick of their freeloading here in America.

The irony here is that if roles were reversed and america was a crap country while venezuela and south america were great countries nd american citizens were trying to get into those countries, none of these ppl would say let americans in nd we would be either shot at by those countries govts or jailed and tortured nd eventually deported. Ive had enough of this nonsense. Main reason i voted for donald trump was to put an end to this bs. Sorry. Border closed!

Look at how they are dressed. The one females hair is clean and styled she even has ear rings in they are getting help getting to our border!! They think they can just invade America, and the government will give them everything they want free. Thank you, President Trump and our law enforcement, for guarding our CLOSED boarder

America is the land of opportunity. With or without an education and your determination, we can hold 2 to 3 jobs , while taking care of your family you left behind and still pay for a room over your head. Some make mistakes due to being taking advantage on, because of situations, they work hard and don't get paid or settle for less. It's not just Mexicans it's most of us.

America please stop destabilizing the region with USA policies that’s why you have all these migrants trying to come in for a better life \nStop sponsoring opposition when you don’t support a government or get your way cause other countries can’t tell you what to do.

The democrats sure made a big mess for the republicans to clean up again. Get rid of the democrat party and we can make America great again. Never forget what they did to Americans.

They think they are entitled to free money, housing etc you never paid a dime into the system .Donald Trump will stop this big time .I'm british and sadly still live in the uk voting trump into power was a very smart move by the American people .America first American people first if your foreign and don't like it get out and don't come back I so wish we could do this in the uk.if reform get in in 2029 we will god willing

No wonder their country sucks because the men doesn't want to fight for their women children and country what a bunch of Cowards. Do what American men did fight fight fight for a better country what made America what it is and now all those cowardly men from other countries running to America and then talk shit on how great their country is after leaving it because they complain it's government is bad. They all should go back and fight for their rights. I just don't get it with these people.

Just because you want to come to America doesn't mean you get to. It is a privilege not a right. You must be able to support yourself and your family and not be a burden to Americans. We can't save the whole world. We need to take care of our elderly, homeless and veterans first.

America first! Period! All my fks are busy sympathizing with our veterans who deserve everything and get nothing.

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

A huge number of Americans support this illegal migration to the point of defending them from ICE while it is very hard to get a legal entry visa to the US if you're from the Philippines or any other country if you are asking for any visa be it tourist, student, working, and etc. Now that you have a no nonsense president, make hay while the sun shines because right now America is a mess because you elected, the past 4 years, a corrupt senile, incoherent president.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

America is seeing this border riot now bc DJT did what he promised Americans & legal immigrants. He made entering the USA tougher than the Biden administration did. They had open borders so it was easy to break American law. DJT did just the opposite. So these idiots can go home or get arrested.

My lord ….why people don’t understand about rules . Did everyone are forgetting about 911 !?!?? Do the right thing for better future nature. But !?The problem this society social media, make people jealous about life things, materials things, make people do bad things . For that !? We are destroying the world ? . I remember when the dollar was less than 2 reais, Brazilian currency . The time was the President George W. Bush family . I never forget the tragedy on the 911 . I remember The US , send Military to find the responsible the 911 , lots money was involved to support the soldiers .Lots country the time was not involved in the 911 . But did get the chance pays all the bills too “ because the money was going down quickly , gave one good opportunity to payback he United States money ?. Then thought The Americans never get back after, 911 !? Americans are amazing people, because they’re responsible pay for their own taxes , to support the country . Resume :::::::1= pays the bills to the United States of America, so the people from another country don’t live , to come to America ??. 2= make the money universal : if don’t “ the war will getting worse . The president the United States of America , Trump deserves respect ?? if you don’t . Bad times come true , to kip the American save . So much things to do with this planet ?, but people’s always want burn ? petroleum, for not being productive enough to care about the environment planet ?. We must use more Electric ⚡️ cars , to have better chance future rainy . ?

Just tell them how racist America is. That should scare them away. Get Obama to warn them.

They all have nicer stuff than most Americans. They aren’t in need they just want hand outs.\nWe don’t owe them ANYTHING. AMERICA and getting handouts is OVER.

Send them back to America, Trump will ensure they get home safely.

We have enough racists in America, and we do not need any more. Please return to India and try to get rid of their ignorant caste system.

I’m proud of Americans. Every news channel covering this paints it like it’s a bad thing then you read the comments and everybody is celebrating this. This is what America voted for, GET UM OUT!

ASK THEIR OWN GOVERMENTS TO HELP THEM; THEY WANT TO COME TO AMERICA TO GET FREE EVERYTHING BUT NOT PAID A DIME IN TAX

And this is how fast a president should act! It’s time America starts taking care of itself before trying to save others. Many countries but us have been enforcing immigration policies for ages and America is JUST getting started ??‍♂️

He is also getting rid of legal ways for asylum seekers to get into the country , which isn’t the win y’all think it is. \n\nThe United States created those problems in Latin America that people are fleeing from. \n\nFrom Los Angeles in the Pacific to New York City in the Atlantic, an iron curtain of tyranny, ignorance, and oligarchy has descended across the continent.
