Could you imagine being from one of these crappy South American countries that say “No, we refuse to take our citizens back!” This cements in the point that they are not sending their best and brightest.

i did the math. one flight had 80 migrants. 25k per hour C17 fuel cost. roughly 600mph, 8 hour round trip. not counting personnel and maintenance. 400k round trip. 5k per migrant. WTF. Why would you not use commercial flights. How has the media not spotted this glaring expenditure? Insane.................... Not even talking about tariffs now.......... Cost to US citizens food. WTF.

The answer is simple, Columbia let them leave and they are Columbian citizens. They need to be returned to Columbia.

The illegal migrants to US are citizens of their mother countries. It is extremely foolish to the mother countries to deny the returnees.

45 is the clear and present threat to US citizens peace and safety.

Why doesn't the Columbian president want his citizens back ?

He’s not asking Columbia to take Americans but to take their own citizens back. We can get tropical fruit from FL, PR, HI and the USVI. We’re not playing with Columbia so they better stop playing with us.

If Colombia didn't want their citizens back........what does that tell you. Spare me puhlease.

INCREASE TARRIFFS ON ALLO THAT WILL NOT TAKE BACK THEIR CITIZEN AROUND THE WORLD !...

Their country has the same amount of natural resources. Their government and leaders need to serve their country, not themselves. Educate their citizens. Have a fair law for everyone and rely on themselves to thrive and improve.

They already worked and the Colombian president just reversed his decision. \n\nTake notes lefties, learn how to negotiate and to put your citizens first.

YES travel band and pause immigration acceptance to any Colombians. If it goes on cut of EAD on all Colombians not citizens. Cus that is bull.

IMPOSE AT LEAST 50% TARIFFS ON COLOMBIA , MEXICO OR ANY COUNTRY REFUSES TO ACCEPT THEIR GOD DAMN CITIZENS!!

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

US Citizens will have to pay triple the price for Coco ? cocaine

My question is how is it a bad thing to MAKE a country take it's own citizen's BACK?

What is wrong to take back its own citizens on a plane.

Awesome. Slap it to them. They're Columbian citizens. I can live without bananas

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!

So they don't want to take back THEIR OWN citizens?

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

Why would a country not want their own citizens back? Pretty telling

What you mean a country doesnt want to house their own citizens?

I hope those Latin American countries send back the US citizens living illegally in their countries.

Well, no one said it this was going to be easy. So, explain to me why Columbia doesn’t want their own citizens back in their own country???

Good! Dialogue is needed to stop the abuses. ? ? Desperate times call for drastic measures. Columbia doesn’t want its own citizens, wondering why? Mmmmmmmm

Good! America needs to start taking care of its it's people FIRST, we have citizens of all races and religious backgrounds and they matter! We can only do so much and it has to be done the right way! We cant open borders and continue to destroy our country!!!

But why would a country refuse its citizen?

The comment section here thinks this isn’t important. You people need to leave this country. Columbia, didn’t want their own citizens? What kind of shit is that?

Goodness, The Ignoranceof Some People!!\n\nIS NOT THAT HE DOES NOT WANT HIS CITIZENS BACK!!\nHE DOES WANT HIS COLOMBIAN CITIZENS BACK JUST NOT CHAINED OR HANDCUFFED.\nBECAUSE, THEY ARE NOT CRIMNALS!!!

Why doesn’t socialist Columbia want citizens back? ?

All this man is doing is making Americans that travel abroad targets and raising the cost of foods for American citizens.

CNN you can update this video now!!!! They even offered the presidential plane to help fly illegal immigrants back to Columbia where there they are citizens!!!!!!???

Finally, a Good Leader. Columbia should be sending flights to pick up their citizens.

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!

Well… is it allowed that a country not allow their own citizens to enter their country!!! Anti human rights… if the USA evacuated those illegals “it’s legal” but Colombia not to receive them “it’s illegal” they r their citizens!!!

LOL…. If you don’t let my planes full of your citizens land I’m going to tax MY citizens….. oh no…..

CNN so wants there to he a 'problem'. They are unamerican just like the people who are snarky and supportive of the chaos and harm to the citizens of the United States

Trump should raise %25 on petroleum product so that the US citizen are paying for it

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

So if the c-17's are 3 times the cost of civilian airliners, just send them back on civilian airliners, what's the problem there? Seems an easy fix and I as a tax payer don't want to pay 3 times more when it can be done cheaper. I Thought Trump was a businessman and knew about economics? I guess he's not interested in keeping it cheaper for us citizens. Furthermore if he tariffs China we are all in big trouble.

Tariffs don’t hurt him\nThey hurts the us citizens \nWhat an idiot

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

CNN Really trying to push the bot narrative. They rather see illegals murder citizens all in the name for keeping sIavery alive and well in this country.

What kind of country refuses to have their own citizens back? If they don't take 'em, why should we?

Very simple. Put them. In commercial flights.now you see. If their own country are not willing to take their own citizens. All citizens are doomed

so colombia dont want its citizens back? lmao

It isn't US bidding to tale your own citizens back lmao

I’m not a financial expert but it strikes me that placing a tariff on every country of the world (especially major trading partners like china and Canada) will only harm the US and therefore US citizens.

Trump is just a puppet. He never left the set of The Apprentice he just changed location to the White House. Holding the puppet strings are all of the would-be oligarchs and authors of project 2025, and he's developing a posse of criminals to bully American citizens. My hope is that they're all heading for a steep cliff to fall into and disappear. Not practical but ever hopeful. That's probably not a very kind thing to say but so many people are suffering because of this 2025 administration. I don't even like to say his name because I have already had a shower today. ???
