Tariffs are paid by the importing country meaning the US consumers will pay more if they want the goods.

The US supported Colombian dictators for years and created tens of thousands of refugees. All ignored by this network. Now the US wants to punish the people who escaped US terror.

This is a much easier fix than what’s being portrayed. We need to make the ability to become a temporary citizen easier than it is. Background checks, usable skills, and political or criminal affiliation. If it’s not possible to access, so is your entry. I support my president and my nation completely and yet I still understand that the deplorable conditions of these broken nations is something I too would want to escape from. By making it so impossible to legally enter, we’re funding the criminals who will do so illegally. \n And can we talk openly about the real issue as well? It’s time for the U.S to clean house too. Government officials taking bribes from the Cartels and making it harder for us to put safety measures in place. We have to stop being in business with these criminal elements. I get it, the money’s being used to fund our military initiatives that tax dollars can’t, like in the 80’s with Contra, but how many U.S lives have to be lost to secure a foreign policy???

They don't want US military jets landing in their nation.

Sounds like someone wants to surrender some land to the US

Send them back !!!..US dont want them

? 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

Petro wants the repatriation to be done in Business Class Avianca (Colombia national airline) and processing done in the VIP lounge, all paid the US taxpayer sucker. Colombia flower export employing 120,000 Colombians now is San Valentin will see 50% increase in prices, let's go Petro. LOL

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!!

Traffics will increase costs initially, but American companies will start bringing jobs home as it costs them more to operate in foreign countries. The question is why is Columbia not accepting their citizens back! They know they sent their gangs and criminals to the US and don’t want to deal with them again!

As a Colombian, I applaud Trump, who can free us from this narco-guerilla leader whose president we have; more than 80% of Colombians do not want him and he is going to set up a dictatorship.

Can understand why they did not want the planes to land because there a mix bunch in there. They may not all be Colombian. Does he expect the drop off points to sort it out on behalf of the US.

Trump is so impossibly stupid\n\nDJT: Hey Columbia, take these people back!\nColumbia: No\nDJT: Take them back or I will impose tariffs on you!\nColumbia: You mean tariffs that will not affect us one bit, but make the price of our goods more expensive, thus hurting your own people?\nDJT: Yes! Do what I want, or I will hurt my own people and blame YOU!\nColumbia: And they're stupid enough to believe that?\nDJT: They voted for me, didn't they?\nColumbia: Fair point. Still...........no.

Colombia, take your garbage back! Don't care how and what plane! Adios! We don't want your criminals in the US!

Of course they don’t want those criminals back. They sent them to the US in the first place.

Mexico, Canada, Columbia, Geeenland, Denmark, Panama… soon no country will want to trade with us anyway.

Columbia doesn't want them back, but the left here in the US wants them to stay.

How is it possible that they are saying deportation numbers were higher during Biden administration, yet we have been faced with the worst immigration crisis in the history of our country? Also, I would never want to sour any relationship with any country but I solute our President for being a nonsense approach and defend his country from criminals. My God, can you imagine what scum we had amongst us, if even their country doesn’t want them. I can live without Colombian food. They can stuff it up where the sun doesn’t shine. I’m only heartbroken for the people who have families there who will now suffer because they’re communicating and visiting will be greatly affected. And this is why Trump calls these assholes terrorists. Because of these assholes families are held hostage by not being allowed to have physical contact with each other.

I'm an immigrant and I am in total support of President Trump. You should continue. Whole world getting American money but they don't want to help us with their own criminals...

Imagine even Colombia doesn't want these people back yet they were pouring into the US

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.

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.

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.

Fucke these Latin countries. They are on the receiving end of US aid and they send their criminals to the US because they don’t want them. I don’t understand why people are against this.

The reason they don't want them back is they mostly came from Jails and prisons. They were not sending their best and brightest. They need us far more than we need them.\nGood job, doing what you said you would. Thanks Trump.

If the Colombian government doesn’t even want their criminals, why would democrats want to keep them in the US. This is mind boggling.

Venezuela and Colombia don't want their citizens back because they know who they sent us folks who they themselves dont want

Trump is going to impoverish the USA with all these tariffs. The US citizen just won't want to pay the prices that are now being asked for imported goods that cannot be purchased from local sources. (And the price of locally sourced goods will also shoot up because of higher demand). Well done Trump, you are only punishing your own citizens with tariffs and they will hate you for it.

Excellent President Trump, This communist and criminal Colombian president does not want their co-nationals criminals back. Horrible. Triple the tariffs, stop the import of flowers and coffee, next close the embassy and stop all visas to the US.

Lol What did he think these countries are just going to take these people back. Columbia does not want them back there. They are US Citizens as far as that goes

Trump is not here to play. the government will not take their own people but want the US to keep them

Well sure they don’t want their criminals back , they dumped them on us instead of taking care of them themselves ! How weak !

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

Its amazing how they dont want their own ppl but expect the US to keep these criminals

The Columbian government does not want its own citizens back? Could it be because the emptied their prisons and mental institutions and they know the people coming back are the worst of the worst ? Murderers , rapists, child molesters? Why else? This is what the Democrats, Biden & Harris gave us.

I don’t understand why Colombia wouldn’t take back their own citizens who were in the US illegally. What if they wanted to deport an American who was in their country illegally… say overstayed a visa? American should just force them to keep that person? People complain that trump is somehow off his rocker but it violates diplomatic norms to refuse to take back your own people .

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.

Columbia wants us to take care of their criminals for them.

The dork announced it on Truth Social. Not everyone wants to sign up for Trumps personal site to get information related to the US criminal President.

If you want this to happen in Canada Vote Pierre !! Liberals will only keep screwing us more !

I have not seen one comment that thinks we should just let them come. We love pay check to pay check we are not going to support you any longer. You have phones clothing you’re well fed. What do you want from us? You’re not coming for us for needs you’re coming us for greed

and yet some politicians see this as ok is infuriating. You want to come to the US, no problem. Just do it legally. This is an invasion we're seeing.

It’s called desperation folks. Do a little research and find out what these people are trying to get away from! What would you do if you believed that this was the only way to protect your children, your family? I understand that the US doesn’t want criminals coming across our borders and that this wasn’t the way to do it. There are also many normal people. My heart goes out to those that sold everything they had to have to pay the cartels to make it through Mexico, because they won’t let anyone pass through without paying them. I’m sorry for them having to deal with the worst that life could throw at them. I pray that they are able to find another way to live.

When they get to the border from Mexico to the US\nThey want be able to get pass those tall metal fence and about 3000 US troops will be there also.\nI feel so sorry for the women and the kids. They are going to have to turn around and go back. They are going to get hurt from each other. It's to many some are going to get crush.

I wonder what media outlet has been telling them that it is ok for them to come into illegally and the American people will take care of them? Who has been hounding a person who wants to keep US citizens safe and housed? I think it is you CNN!

And they wonder why the US doesn't want them?

Stay out know one wants you here stay in your country we hate you people taking from us

Go home!! You costing us all money. We don’t want you here.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants
