What's the orange idiot going to do when these countries band together and ban American imports. America would come to a screeching halt, crash and then catch fire while he goes golfing claiming fake news and it's all a hoax.

So coffee is more important to you democrats the the innocent lives murdered by some illegal criminals smh

They rejected Trump’s deportation method for several reasons most important of which are undesirable individuals and smart spies. Countries usually do that.\nFor the Tariffs, we the consumers and producers will pay the tariffs not Columbia. That is, the Colombians bag Trump and Trump sticks it to Americans. What type of jock is this.

This is why CNN is failing. Tell it like it is. The title of the video should be Trump hits Americans with additional tarrifs on Columbian imports.

Trump is not punishing Columbia, he is punishing the American people. We are the ones who pay for the costs of tariffs on products imported.

We could actually start importing more coffee from other countries ; Colombia is not the only country that produces coffee

it does mean you'll (you, US consumer) pay 25% more when you'll import products from Colombia

I would appreciate and encourage the media to call it an import tax which the Americans will ultimately pay. I want to also add why weren't the logistics worked out before hand? It was a waste of tax payers money. There should be legislation worked out. Not by executive order which im seeing doesn't mean its law.

If there is a 25% tariff on Colombian imports it will really hurt Don Jr.

Good for Columbia. Retaliating by taxing USA with an import tax

Colombia's biggest export is cocaine... Always tariff free ?\nThe Chinese will pick up the imports.

So Americans have to pay the tariff to import Columbian oil?... Ok,so!\nAmericans must be thrilled to see their groceries cost more. \nWILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW TARIFFS WORK TO THIS MORON !!

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 .

Perhaps you should explain to those who voted for Trump in words they can understand, how tariffs work. We here in the United States will pay more for the products imported here. Buckle MAGAS you already are too poor to pay the prices now. These foods and products you won't be able to afford at all.

But.... did the price of eggs and gas go down?\nAll those who voted for this, get ready to pay more for food\nI had to school someone about Tariffs today ? \n\nTrump’s tariffs could tank the economy...\nThough Trump inherits a strong economy and low inflation, he’s proposed a 10 to 20 or even more \n tariff on all imports, and a 60 percent tariff on all imports from China. The Budget Lab at Yale estimates that this policy alone could raise consumer prices by as much as 5.1 percent and could diminish US economic growth by up to 1.4 percent. An analysis by the think tank Peterson Institute for International Economics, finds that Trump’s tariffs, when combined with some of his other proposals such as mass deportation, would lead to inflation rising between 6 and 9.3 percent.

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

As President-elect Trump weighs up the tariffs he has promised to impose, it is important to understand who will pay them. \n \nThere is a popular misconception that when a country imposes tariffs on imported goods, it is punishing a foreign government or foreign firms. This is not a mistake made by economists. The tariff is paid at point of entry, and much of it goes to the government that imposed it. It is paid by the importer, a probable wholesaler, who passes it on in the form of higher prices for his or her customers.

tariffs only hurt taxpayers. we carry the burden. he can raise prices on imports Columbia will just raise the orices of the products its importing to cancel out trunps tariffs. guess who is left with the expense? we are

Import the 3rd world and you will become one yourself

Immigration is so important crazy out of control

If you wanna know why all these rejections, look at Canada! Canadians are some of the nicest people on earth, but the anti-Indian sentiments in the country have been steadily growing over the past few years for a reason. While some of them settle into the Canadian culture, a lot of them have instead decided to import India to Canada. The question then is, why not stay in India? If you wanna be Canadian, be Canadian, don't try to turn Canada into India 2.0. That's why Canadians seem anti-Indian now.

The most important lesson is to learn to behave and respect when you're in another country.

You have too many unemployed local born Canadians. The foreigners who know they came without permission shouldn't expect to be considered more important then the local citizens.\nA foreign business like a school program does not have the authority to permit folks to come to Canada. Nor do your cousins running businesses. Or foreign realtors selling you or renting housing. Or the foreign landlords convincing you they have the right to rent to you.

Scumbag Biden importing illegal for votes!!! Causing chaos and illegal criminals to thrive!!!

Scumbag Biden importing illegal for votes!!! Causing chaos and illegal criminals to thrive!!!

As these people are used to clean environment, they will clear India. And important they will not defecate in the streets

20,000 Hamas\n imported by then

I remember when the political Left was dead against mass immigration because it lowers wages and work standards. Bernie Saunders is a prime example before he flipped on the topic. The Left discovered endless votes they can import which is what this has really been all about, because it certainly is not about prosperity or common sense or unity.

Regards the subject discussed why is it important that we bring millions of immigrants when the country is struggling with unemployment, crime and homelessness ?

I’ve had personal experiences where I’ve struggled to connect with some Indians at work and felt excluded. While I try to remain polite and professional, these repeated interactions have left me with mixed feelings. I understand the importance of diversity and cultural inclusion, but I believe there also needs to be mutual respect and effort from everyone involved for integration to work. It’s not about banning anyone but fostering better understanding and collaboration.

No dude, our regulations on food in Canada are FAR better than yours. You might have the highest quality health care for your rich people but there's a reason we fought hard to keep your milk out of here, and our meat is far better too, which is why you import it. Oh wait, you won't get our quality inspected beef anymore. Boohoo.

It wasn't just about the border, but the border was important. He also wants canada to manage ports and drugs. Also canada needs to meet its 2% commitment to nato. \nThat's how we avoid tariffs

Se sont des immigrés illégaux....\nCe n'est pas comme s'il chassait l'importation ?

This.. THIS IS WHY THE NEW SHIFT OF POWER WAS SO IMPORTANT. \nTHIS IS NOT OK ✌️

It's important to come in legally and honor the laws. Let's promote understanding and responsibility!

They brought this hardship on themselves not President Trump, it has never in human history been cruel to send people home. They have nothing to offer America, those corporations who have a voracious appetite for cheap labor have fueled this migration by lobbyist working with Dems and Republicans to replace American workers with cheap unskilled labor from around the world while putting the.cost of feeding, sheltering, educating and medical treatment for this cheap labor on us the ones who have been put out of work by the cheap labor imported by elected leaders.

You are very objective in your comments and very open minded person. You should be an important community leader beside your regular responsibility. Thank you ?

Many of the foreign countries are forgetting Indian labour and skills play an important role in their countries job and economic requirements. Perhaps the entitled attitude of Indians in a foreign country can also not be denied.

Hate this comment if you must but we now have the absolute worst generation of work force. So the government imports the workers and here we are. \nBefore you hate me, I don’t love this either but it’s a horrible chain reaction with no end in sight.

Trump said Spain is a Brics nation xD. So Spain will get 100% import taxes just because he was too lazy to open google ;)

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

The majority of Indians are wonderful people, despite the fact that some of them are lethargic, unfriendly, slow-moving, and most importantly, foul-smelling. I apologize and I'm not racist; I'm simply speaking the truth. When it comes to population increase, they are comparable to rabbits.

India is a very important geopolitical country regardless of how modern politics unfolds between adverse relationships around the world. Professional Visas and customer service representative Visas may have created a reconsideration of Visas application requirements.

Good manners and civic sense is important.

Indians need to be more civilisized , and learn to respect others. The most important, they need to climb down from the attitude horse!! Learn from your neighbour country ppl of Sri Lanka

The question that I have is why so many Indians are soooo desperate to leave India. Maybe you should focus your anger on India's corrupt political class for impoverishing India, rather than other nations for rejecting Indian visas? Other countries (like America) are struggling too, and simply can't afford to keep importing cheap labor from India :(

India is a big country. Indians in America are the highest earning ethnic group for good reason. Their education and employment backs it up. However, the illiterate bunch that Canada imported from Punjab who by trade are farmers, truck drivers, taxi drivers and other labor intensive workers, is the reason why Canadians are pissed. The majority of the “students” barely speak English, which makes you wonder if the IELTS is even legit. Add the fact that cost of living is through the roof, Canada is a shitshow. The blame goes to: a. India b. Canada \n\nIndia is to blame for not having oversight over these so called “consultants” who help with immigration abroad. These agencies work with fake schools to allow so called students to emigrate. \n\nCanada is at fault for not doing their due diligence when issuing visas. Trudeau is a communist and single handedly destroyed Canada with his buddy, Jagmeet, by bringing all those Punjabis into Canada. Those Punjabis belong on a farm or driving a truck in India, not in Canada. Smart Indians want nothing to do with Canada now and this in turn will hurt Canada grow as a nation.

Exporting poverty. \nMUCH different from importing it.

Mil jul kar bakwas karti raho..You are nothing but an overpriced propagandist. The amount of arrogance you have projected on behalf of the sanghis is ridiculous..Even now you are giving all this a spin. Its not only Indians that have to go through all these protocols. As far as the passport index position is concerned the foreing ministry interesctions with press and it utterances during meetings with other Foreign Ministers need to br reviewed.. Your extremely arrogant suggestion about leveraging our economic standing will have an adverse effect. Dont try and emulate USA of the 60d and 70s..Those days are long gone..Even you ate slowly becoming a prehistoric fire breathing Pterodactyl..a relic.\nWas it not this(You) shameless propagandist of the BJP that was claiming at the Oxford Union debate the importance of the Indian Passport on the world stage? Would she tell us what our standing was at the time of her absurd assertions? It is time we Indians did a reality check..

But no television debate on india national television debate. They keep shouting on nonsense issues but ignore the important one
