Why can’t these Latin America build their economies? Socialism?

Well looks like the usa better start building mega prisons to hold all those immigrants thats being deported. It would be more money for the usa if we just set them free and put those immigrants to work and start building production lines and sell those products to other countries to build our economy back

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

Thanks for raising my grocery prices, this loser wants to fight everyone with tariffs like a chihuahua… If they all get together they’re going to trash the USA economy. Guy can’t do nothing right!!!

Trump preferred to distract people from inflation with talk of adding Greenland to the United States or seizing the Panama Canal.\n\n“It’s catnip and it causes everybody to stop paying attention to their actual economic agenda, which has nothing to do with lowering costs and everything to do with rigging the economy to help the Mar-a-Lago crowd

The gringos are going down. The USA (not america) is were it is because of the immigrants. US economy is going down, I can't believe the hatred that euroamericans spread, even though they are in stolen land.

Ohhh Trump is going to destroy our economy.

message to the worl;d . lets all crash the US economy !! wont be too hard with this clown in charge !!???

Colombia Govt is run by the drug cartels.. they are not taking back their members even if you crash the economy.. they run on the illegal economy anyway.

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

And Columbia will issue tariffs on the US to match, as well as take its trade to other countries more favorable to them! The USA loses because Trump is the biggest loser! Anyone who thinks that a man who lost the fortune his father gave him and bankrupted 5 companies, one of which was a casino, will be able to grow the US economy is uneducated, ignorant of the facts and truth and doesn't understand economics! CNN has a duty to tell the truth. Instead it is part of Trump's propaganda machine. Trump is not a king, he is a clown, a felon, fraudster, rapist, pedophile and cannot be trusted with a penny.

This bluff and bluster will soon be exposed as this lunatic in White House realizes that trade wars aren't a one-sided event, but will hurt the USA economy as well. No country is an island anymore. This is going to be huge embarrassment.

Just remember folks, President Trump does not care about the American people. President Trump is more focused on Greenland and Canada instead of fixing the high cost of inflation. Shame on you President Trump. You ran on fixing the economy. Not trying to acquire Greenland and Canada. Shame on you, President Trump what a waste of a vote.

Btw US dont need Colombia economy to grow its GDP, so, US can do whatever they can to safeguard its country...dont worry about banana from Colombia, the rest of the world has hell lota banana they can be sent to US ,the very next day

Rest of the world countries must break relationship with US to teach solid lesson to US. Let's see how US economy do without other countries and banned dollar will be very good step.

It's not like inflated cost for weed is going to effect our economy

Trump is starting a trade war with pretty much everyone else in the world. The US economy accounts for only 15% of the world's GDP, the rest of the world represents 85%. You have to be unbelievably arrogant to think you can win a trade war with China+Europe+Canada+Australia+South-America.

I love to see foreign countries giving DJT the middle finger. After he destroys our country, our economy, he’ll be begging them for help and we’ll be at their mercy. I can’t wait!!!

Tariffs are like drinking raw milk while egg prices are high. Just like Trump's belief in herd immunity, it only kills the weak ones......as we enter an economy crash. Lot to ponder.

So nephews let me SPAIN IT TO YOU! The BRICS countries will come in and buy up the Colombia surplus and build deeper relations with them. \n\nSo Asshole in a cheap suit = Trump isn't going to get what he wants but isolate the US more eventually hurting the Economy. \n\nFor those that support him go buy some of his coins

This started Friday in Brazil ?? when the interior minister with police and media boarded a US plane refueling in a Brazilian city carrying returning Brazilian migrants. The police acted surprised when they discovered the migrants were all handcuffed and leg ironed. They were removed, fed, showered and returned home by Brazil.\nThis was big news throughout the Latin countries.\nThe Colombian President would not accept his civilians being treating as criminals. Colombia ?? sent a plane to pick up their citizens without the mechanical restraints.\nColombia has now imposed a 50% tariff on all American products and seeking other countries to partner with, in effect shutting out the US. This is gonna be so good for china’s ?? economy

People, Columbia struck back with 50% tariffs on all US goods! Trumpf started his first trade war - he's the only CONVICTED criminal at issue here - and the voters let him in to do Putin's bidding and crush the US economy!

I got a message for President Gustavo Pedro: Your Country is beautiful so your people, your Country is a paradise, I would listen to MR President Trump and get along with him. If you send your Presidential Plane for accommodating your people you're welcome, but you're not in the position to jeopardize your fragile economy for any reason whatsoever, peace, diplomatic relationship and trade and what you need the most as the entire world including us in America. MR President Trump is protecting the sovereignty of America and the people within.

Well when our nation economy begins to suffer these tariffs will go away. It is stupid to do this.

Rounding up and holding all these people is going to cost America billions.\nThese people also pay tax and they frequent small businesses putting money back into the economy.

I'm going to fix the economy!... With tariffs smh

All this will do is wreck the US economy, but this will not affect the Trump family as they constantly grift off their uneducated supporters.

Soon every nation will unite against the US and it's economy will crumble, mark my words. Trump is out of control!

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!

I disagree, he cannot allow these countries to take advantage of America. Columbia, Venezuela, quite a few of those countries open. No jails dumped the criminals in an American people. Now the refusing to take him back, but guess what? They will take him back. It's nothing wrong with Trump and acting. These terrorists, so you, you folks are wrong. As for the America and American people, so are you people? This bias is just plain wrong. You need to take an overall look at the situation. And where are the economics of America? The economy and everything is at in America. We can't keep supporting all these people. We don't have the money.

You know what's funny is, when Biden was in office, the economy was getting better, gas prices were finally going down and unemployment was at its all time lowest in US history. Now Trump is gonna get rid of all these immigrants that do the hard dirty work like, picking fruit, avocados and chile and roofing and construction So now watch I bet you anything businesses will go out of business and the economy will get bad again. I hope im wrong

The USA will be a pariah nation within a year. Economic sanctions and grass-roots boycotts of everything USA will crush the economy.

He's going to destroy our economy faster than he did the last time...

So trump is going to wreck the US economy in retaliation for not being able to carry out illegal deportations... Not a way to lower grocery prices... What an idiot... Along with everyone who supports him ?

It's amusing that your site has zero videos of Donald Trump absolutely schooling Karen Bass during that live TV Friday night. Not a single clip from CNN either! And yet, you report this without mentioning that the Colombian president has already Folded like a lawn chair. Plus, you conveniently skip over his attempt to retaliate against Trump with tariffs. Spoiler alert: we’ll just get our coffee from Brazil, which is way better anyway! president petro is not winning any popularity contests in Colombia, and sacrificing his country's economy for the sake of the optics involving violent criminals being airlifted is just plain reckless. That's downright crazy.!

lol get rid of what you can get rid of and get this so called bad economy fixed

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.

It's like the truer intention of the administration is to send the United States Economy into a total downward tailspin ??

This guy needs to be impeached for the 3rd time immediately. He's going to ruin this economy that we worked so hard on after his first time.

Imagine that, all these tinpot dictators are folding like cheap suits. It will destroy the Colombian economy. The dictator WILL get the problem fixed.

It's time for world leaders to stand up to this Orange Buffoon, he can't terrorize the whole world. Other countries can put tariffs in place as well, they all need to unite. it will crush the US Economy within days!

It is not a retaliatory tariff on Columbia. It is a penalties imposed on a country that harm national security and economy of the United States of America.

Tariffs hurt the US economy your banana will now cost the consumer 5 dollars pound he and he (trump) can fix it alone

President Trump will repeal the 25% tariff. To harmful to Americas economy .\nOil , cofee etc. MAGA??

WE SANCTION EL SALVADOR AND economy that is why they are at our borders because AMERICAN SANCTIONS have crippling their economy.

Goodbye ? economy

Smarter way to impact the Latin counties is limit, prohibit, or add fees to remittances to those countries. That’s the main way money comes back to those countries to fuel their economy. If they can’t send money home, those countries grind to a halt

Cocaine remains tariff free. Thanks for all Americans for the continued support for Colombians economy. USA remains the top cocaine consumer in the world.

It's not that Colombia doesn't want to receive the deportees, it's because that idiot is a bully and wants to do everything by force. He should first worry about improving the economy of his country as he promised to those who elected him. Why does he have to start making life miserable for everyone like an unbridled demon?

Mob boss president in action. Tariffs are his blunt instrument, and international grievances of every type is a nail. The US economy is a strong lever but it's not that strong that you can bully any country on Earth to do anything you want. MAGA are such moronic goons.
