According to the NYT and Washington Post, Trump's punishment is much more drastic than this CNN video protrays due to the nature of Colombian economy and exports. Colombia is gonna get crushed if this continues. \n\nColombia is nuts for taking on Trump, what did they think Trump was gonna do to them? Flowers and food can be easily imported from other countries. And Trump loves to make an example out of people.

Dear GOD, through the power of your only begotten SON JESUS and the Virgin Mary, please lift the DELUSION from these people of good will (2 Thessalonians 2-man of lawlessness) and let them wake up to the fact that Trump is not the man they think he is! He is against all that is TRUE and HOLY and will lead this great country to destruction. He is a son of Satan (father of all lies). He claims he is the CHOSEN ONE, but he behaves in the opposite manner of what JESUS would do (anti-Christ). He loves only himself! He claims to love the Holy Bible yet cannot recite one verse of scripture! Jesus warned us of the false prophets, and messiahs that would come after HIM deceiving even the elect of GOD! Trump is one such FALSE MESSIAH. Satan (ruler of THIS world) has given his son immense power to deceive men's minds, and GOD is allowing us to be punished for the sin of ELECTIVE abortion We need to REPENT, PRAY and RENEW our trust in JESUS CHRIST and his Mother Mary and follow them, carrying our cross on the road that will lead us back to the FATHER! AMEN - JOHN 3:16!

I'm not a trump voter or fan and I think he's a moron, BUT I have a problem with any country that does not want to take back their own citizens!

Who the fuck does trump think he is telling other countries what to do. He thinks he's the dictator of the world and everybody has to listen to him and they don't

From the Gulf of America via Greenland Gaza etc I think this stuff is becoming so much and the world would start to. Call Mr Trump bluff soon

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do on the campaign trail. The majority of Americans are thrilled. This is what the majority voted for. One would think a non biased media ownership would have gotten the message? I guess once you have dug your own grave deep enough there is no climbing out for CNN. What a shame!

Trump didn't think that through ?

Trump is a bully…he thinks he can do anything he wants even with other countries ?

Trump doesn’t realize America is going down hill because of him he thinks 50 % nothing to play with he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing

Trump doesn’t realize America is going down hill because of him he thinks 50 % nothing to play with he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing

So Trump thinks he’s going to cuck the rest of the world like he did the Republican Party.

I’m taking to my president haiti can’t receive any deportation Haiti need more and more help Before thinking send representatives to see Haiti first please thank you my president Donald j trump for your support and god bless you ❤

World starts telling Trump off don't you think he better think twice which he's not going to he's gonna run America into the ground

It took less than 3 hours. Columbia just gave in. 25-50% tariff from your number one buyer? No thank you. \n Its been 6 days. Trump has done more in 6 days on immigration than Biden did in 4 years. Think about that. \n The adults are back in charge.

It appears CNN is having difficultes keeping up with Trump so here's the current scoop... Pesident Gustavo has already folded and even offered his presidential plane to help deport Colombian citizens from the US. For the other countries who thinks President Trump is playing games, his message is simple, it's four letters: FAFO!

Trump thinks people shit like used under wear wear billionaires didn't care lady Burnt home billionaire can help fix sewer home

Trump will encourage countries to join BRICS--he may think it is the late 19th century, but there is a new economic power alliiance in 2025-- and its GDP combined is much higher that the USA. Let see how this works.

If you have brains, and you stop and actually think about what Pres. Trump has done, and what he plans on doing; all of his actions make sense and are totally justified. You just have to have a non- partisan mindset.

I think you mean, Trump hits American companies who import goods from Columbia with tariffs so they can pass those costs down to American consumers. REPORT THE NEWS CORRECTLY or don't report it at all, ffs. Smh

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

Trump better not mess with my coffee. Americans revolted over tea you think patriots won’t fight for their coffee?

How much do you think Trump and his family have made by the sudden spike in coffee prices on the exchange.....?

Trump is teaching the rest of the world that the only way to deal with him is for them to collectively isolate and destroy the economy of the USA. Trump thinks he can force HIS agenda on other sovereign nations. This will not end well for us.

I don't like Trump at all, think he rallies people who are racist towards south and central americans, but also I think a good country never denies a plane full of it's citizens

How the world has changed. As a Business Major in the 90s, the WSJ was the guardian of Conservative thinking and held steadfast against any kind of Liberal ideas as cuckoo. Now the WSJ is basically in full agreement with Democrats, and against most Trump policies. Honestly, as someone that just watches the freak show, as George Carlin so famously said, I'm left wondering who is right or wrong. Also, where is this going? It seems almost all Conservative support is now with Fox News and podcasters. Hardly any networks or newspapers, no news agencies (as we know Fox isn't a news agency).

What did trump think the world is gonna bow down nope they got brics once trump started threatening the world with tarriffs are allies and enemies ran to brics are sanctions mean nothing on world stage anymore we are laughing stock of the world real talk

I think Columbia should load all the US ex-pats onto airplanes and send them back to their country. Trump can figure out what to do with 30,000 people of his own. All countries that he threatens should do the same. A sudden influx of people with no jobs and no homes to go to, should help the American economy as much as Trump dropping migrants off is doing to these countries.

Trump thinks him spitefully putting Tarifs on these countries because they aren’t bowing to to him . Trump i keep saying he doesn’t care for humanity he out of anger and him being a narcissist and no empathy behind doesn’t care if we the people are negatively affected. No but his supporters this is who they wanted. Y’all tried to hurt those Americans who are your color but you hurt your own selves.

Trump is quite literally declaring war on the entire world and thinks he can win!

Biden gave all these people jobs by what he did, just think if trump didn’t get elected what would they do?

Trump is the kind of guy who learned one lesson from school - I think the day his brain worked at school, the teacher was talking about tariffs - he thinks tariffs are the antidote of all problems. The US drinks a lot of coffee, so that means now your Starbucks is double the prices and your people will pay it.

TRUMP IS A CLOWN ??. and the opposite of an alpha. These magas think he's some strong man ?. He's a wimp. He'd break in any real confrontation. LOSER

Am I opinion? I think Trump they had to give you opportunity. Check the record to the people. And just try to give you paper to the people. They know haven't bar record

Trump is a very stupid human being. Does he think he can bully other nations?

trump is too stupid on how Tariffs work, he isn't thinking about the best interest of America ,he just has when people stand up against him , hold tight to your money and spend on necessities ,forget about luxury items for a while

They have one week... I'm thinking TRUMP will get his way VERY QUICKLY!

As usual, Trump didn't think this through; Colombia could very easily cease co-operation with the US and turn a blind eye to cocaine smugglers. Talk about an own goal.

You Trumpers are not aware or educated on anything. Do you want to be at war with every country?\nYOU will pay for the tariffs. Trump is a bully. Yes we need immigration reform. But not start a war with every\nCountry. Trump killed the immigration reform bill with Dems and repubs because it’s how he won. The bill conceded to the repubs in many ways and they were thrilled. Then he told them not to vote for it. Do you want your children in an unstable atmosphere cuz Trump is threatening everyone? think this through. He’s wants to be a ruler and the rest of the world gets his craziness a lot more than you guys.

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

What a shame...lots of Colombians voted for Trump in South Florida...im sure they think that he's joking ??

Putting a a tariff on Columbia will put more of them out of work. Where does Trump think they will then go for jobs?

You're a real bad businessman trump, do you know how many businesses now will shut down because of coffee that will cost us instead of $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks it will now be 15 think about what you've done you really need to stay out of business because you suck at it

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.

Why do these bottom feeders think they can just barge into our country? They have no rights. They don't belong here, we don't want them here. They have nothing, will only drain taxpayers. No skills, don't know the language, only want the things free that we Americans have had to work for, and now we're supposed to work to give these things to them? They come from violent places, diseased places, and many of them have and will commit horrendous acts against Americans. Thank God for President Trump and Tom Homan.

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

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

Trump can't stand the fact YOU think you should be here and have any rights. And he seriously plans to do something about that. SO MUCH FOR THINKING.

I earned my permanent resident status back in 2001 and joined US ARMY during war in terror and served for 8 years. While serving, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the middle of hot zones, dodging grim reaper's radar for many, many times. When I finally earned my US citizenship through military, I seamlessly transitioned into law enforcement career in New York for past 10 years, which I encountered with many illegal criminals with rap sheets- which some makes you think why they are still wondering in the street instead of locked up in the jail, having their freedom taken away. What is funny is that many of these illegal criminals have such an entitled mindset that they are deserve to be here in US without permit do whatever they want and enjoying these unbelievable benefits that these sanctuary city/state provides that we, us citizens don't even get- and we are paying for it with our hard earned money. I think I earned my citizenship with blood and sweat, same goes to many immigrant hopefuls that came to U.S with true American dream. It is time to take back our country and I 100% support with Trump's decision on this.
