? *We voted for this we want this, as Americans we want America cleaned up* I don't care if ICE goes in the middle of the night or if they go during the day and take children out of elementary schools... these illegals have to go back home, and they have to go now, immediately!!! We're taking our country back and there's nothing that these Advocates groups and the civil rights groups can do about it, because they're not supposed to be here! Everyone can blame Joe Biden why this is happening in the first place and we can all thank President Trump for cleaning up Joe Biden's mess

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

Imagine how other countries look at America, knowing Donald Trump will throw huge tariffs & sanctions at their country if they don’t give him what he wants.

The funny thing is you keep saying the phrase “US Allies “ when you should use “former US allies “ the US has no allies as it doesn’t want any .don’t act like you should be leaving America for your next vacation . No one else wants you to visit . Please stay home .

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

The point is that it is their respective countries' fault for not being able to take care of their people. China has helped Latin America ? what else do they want from the U.S.

This People did the Work,That no America people don't want to do!! Trump and his Olygarker don't no what a normally works is!!!\nThis is catastrophe what America do to this People!?

Hmm no one will want to trade with america if he does this to others

Amazing how these fine people who should remain in America (according to some) were not wanted back by their own country. When they were willing (for about an hour, LOL) to have a trade war because that's how badly they did not want them back, it goes a long way to prove that Trump is right.

So lets say if all the countries in South America, don't agree with trump hes gonna impose tariffs. Now no country wants to pay extra so their gonna reach out to China and Russia for security. Next thing you know the pacific is storming with chinese and russian vessels. Is this what trump wants??

you know,most of the country that colonized by Spanish are all corrupt country that is why their people wanted to out that corrupt country!!!most of the spanish colonized country are found in Central and South America!!

America ?? doesn’t want you illegal immigrants

The guy forgot to say that Biden deported more illegals in 2024 because he wanted to fool voters.\nIs America no man's land where anyone can break into?

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…..?

Donal trump want to run the United States of America like a bissnes not like a country so the world get ready ????????

Columbia has now retaliated because America wanted a conman and fraud as president ALL because of racism. Btw the price of eggs in my neighborhood is $8?

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

For the troll Trump posters here. It was not resolved. As a matter of fact as of 3 hours ago us planes and Military pains are not permitted into Colombian airspace. There was no resolution in Columbia certainly did not crumble they'll be taxed in America you want the coffee from them you'll be paying for it and Trump with his cocaine addiction since 1991 is probably going to be itchy and antsy more than ever some people look at the TV sets you can tell when he's actually doing lines

Colombian President Petro is right to block US Military planes from dumping illegal immigrants in Colombia, they do not want non Colombian immigrants in their country, Racist Trump is dumping illegal Hispanic immigrants everywhere on South America.

Apparently no one there gives a crap about those children, jesus christ. If you wanted to solve the immigration issue, you fix the issue of why these people want to leave their own countries. The USA in Hollywood has said for as long as it's been alive that in America you can live the dream and that America is the best, so why are you surprised when these people show up wanting the same thing. If we didn't have asshole dictators, this likely wouldn't be a problem, but you know how power hungry greedy c##ts are.

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.

This man doesn't realize he is going to isolate and bankrupt America with all the s*it he is doing. Unless he wants to go nuclear in which case Earth would be uninhabitable for EV and everyone including the 1%, other countries WILL turn on America and the economic cost will be catastrophic.....then again, he's a genius at the art of bankruptcy....

I would ordinarily be defending the USA. But this is Trump. And it’s being pushed without setting it up. They want to know what is going on. Naturally ! But Trump doesn’t think anyone or any Government can oppose him. The South American countries are dog walking our corrupt Leader. He’s a disgrace to America

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

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

he so dumb..he acts without looking into anything..costing tax payers millions to use military for deportation...you wanted him now ull pay for it..tarriffs means tarriffs right back at you..america will suffer more than colombia w tarrifs

Their own countries don’t want them back. I guess they’ll were really dumping their trash in America

It’s no surprise they don’t want the criminals either. That’s why they sent them here to America.

Isn’t it funny that Columbia can have closed borders, but Biden was flying them into America? Why would Columbia not want their own people? Ohhh, because they are dangerous! Why should we treat them well, but Columbia can’t welcome them with open arms? They are criminals of they come here against our laws!

If President Trump really wants to hurt Colombia, then stop ALL cash transfers from the USA to Colombia. In fact, stop all cash transfers to Mexico, South America, and Central America... permanently!

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!

? u guys haven't changed. F Colombia and anything from Columbia Americans don't need or want their products! CONSUMERS DON'T CARE! and they don't have a monopoly on bananas lol. America is back and we don't want these socialist communist countries products. And that goes for China. They don't have a monopoly to tell us what they will n won't do! We tell them what we'll accept. Don't like it? Too bad SO SAD! Get a clue CNN

Good for Columbia. Stand proud and stand tall 60% of America is behind you all the way. The tariffs won't affect your country just makes prices higher for us which is what trump wants to do to keep all of us suppressed as all dictators do!!

So Trump wants to deport illegal migrants from America import illegal Jewish settlers into occupied Palestinian land and deport Palestinians from Gaza from their land to somebody else’s does not anybody see the hypocrisy

Elites want Mass Immigration only for the Sake of Cheap Labor.\nIts Inhumane and Unchristian to Support Mass Immigration that leads to Suppression of Wages for the Working Class.\nNote: Most Working Class American work in the Construction, Retail and Hospitality Sectors and in these Same sectors most Illegal Immigrants also works, this leads to Suppression of wages in these Sectors, that directly hits the Living Standard of Poor Working class People of America.

Imagine dat they dont want their own criminals. Why should America be forced to keep such hazardous baggage?\n\nUnload them anyway.

Boss move. America has a leader. Hard to understand why so many Americans want America to fail.

Lol all of americas enemies are going to offer 0% tax to whoever wants to buy or sell and see how it's just going to backfire at usa . It's obvious no ....

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

Columbia doesn't want to fill their prisons back up with the people they released and sent here. Democrats ruining America since they started the civil war to keep their slaves.

Don't even want y'all's own people back lol why would we want those people in America

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.

Was it dignified for those aliens to kill our citizens here in America.. what they don't want them to come back and kill their citizens.?

The Dictator of Columbia literally emptied out insane asylums and prisons to send them North to America. Obviously, we don't want them, why is this so hard to understand?????? My God, Biden has left-behind an absolute disaster for Trump in his team to now clean up

People dont want to mess with America. They will find out. America has had enough. The Bear is done being poked.

COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT ..YOU WANT US TO DRINK YOUR COFFEE BUT YOU DONT WANT YOUR OWN CITIZENS BACK WHO ILLEGALY CAME TO AMERICA..HYPOCRITE ..TRUMP GOOOOO..TARIFFS

Trump is doing this stuff out of spite not to help America but to try and hurt foreign countries trying to force them to do the things he wants. Trumps spite is gonna effect the USA citizens pockets we are gonna pay higher prices on the goods now. Yall his supporters talking about yall want something different in a president OKAY YALL GOT WHAT YOU WANT TRUMP IS GONNA HURT YALL WAY OF LIVING ALSO.

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.

Now trump putting Tarif on Columbia because they didn’t do what Trump wanted. Trump is ruining America

Well why would you want to go to trumps America? I certainly won’t visit until that freak is out!
