Breaking: Colombia now retaliating by announcing tariffs on US passport bros effective immediately

They sent us their crap, why would they want it back.

Well....Canada ...Mexico and Columbia maybe could do business together and get rid of US...sounds good to me..?

BUT Trump said he would bring food prices down. He lied to us.

The tariff are paid for by the US importers. It’s a classic Trumpism own-goal. Hilarious.

The whole of South America will join BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. US will have Russian businesses' on their doorstep ???

Please research what a tariff is before commenting. It's not a tax other countries pay to us.

Once a president is allowed to do something like this, it just shows me that he doesn't respect people's basic human rights. We are opening the door to him to do whatever he wants to all American citizens. None of us are safe.

Why aren't you reporting that they hit us back with 50% with tariffs on our products????????

They don’t want them, should tell us everything we need to know

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.

I give us maybe two months before we hit inflation ?yikes !! He did it once he is gonna do it again , duh ?

I was po'd that I had to pay $13 for a tv in my room when I had my kids LMAO! Canadian problem. Free now though. For the most part I like the safety and security of Canada. I always feel a little in danger when I visit the US. I think the idea that anyone can carry a weapon freaks me out. But, I love the shopping in the states. It is not cheaper for us to buy down there but you guys have way more variety.

Trump is picking on weaker countries, but what if those countries United against the US and put and end to this bullying

Thats the reason why China is making a lot of friends and colleagues from more than 100 countries. They have another strategy and not retaliation like the US ✌️.\nThat's why BRICS is gaining so much power .

Canadian must stop buying USA product - All canadian must think everytime they want to buy anything- Wake up people check the label before buying and buy things that do not comes from US.

Columbia has a shoreline, US Navy could dump them off on the coast in rafts...

Welcome to the tariff club Colombia. Probably US was trying to dump people other than colombians, maybe venezuelans.

Boss said you ain’t working with us,we not working with you either

The Colombian pres felt bad that the US wouldn't benefit from having their best in their land.

? they better not label that as following republican values lol. it's smart to use this kind of rhetoric to hide the isreali and US crimes

I don't know why MAGA are now surprised Colombia hit back with 25% retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Did they think other countries would just roll over or something? They will just hit back on US goods. This will not end well.

He didn’t refuse to let in its own citizens, US didn’t followed the protocols, it’s not only about dropping off people in a military plane without no info and communication, there are agreements between governments and no one has exceptions, quit misinforming.

What does it tell us about these people when their own country does not want them back

Colombian President Gustavo Petro quickly reversed course about accepting flights of deported migrants from the US after President Donald Trump threatened emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate. \n \nPetro not only acquiesced to Trump’s demands, he even offered up the official Colombian presidential plane to help shuttle migrants back to the country, calling it a response to “the Government’s commitment to guarantee decent conditions.”\n\nThe extreme left is very unhappy about this decision?

People emigrate from columbia to the US because the US is wealthier. The tariffs will make Colombia poorer meaning more people trying to migrate to America

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???

I hope the rest of the world will boycott the US because of Trump

It’s time to get the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN. \nCheck this out from 1974. It may be dated but it is still true: Byron MacGregor - Americans - 1974

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

Trump is going ruin the US and isolate the country from the civilized world. The executive order to put a yellow patch on all that don’t applaud him will come soon. But the rest of the world will stand up to this bully

Very good action by Trump?.. US badly needed president like Trump who can defend US interest without distracted by non-sense from Left Liberal...?

The US is about to have next to no freinds.? everybody flocking to china. Time for china to bring freedom of navigation of the US coast ??

So they are going to force us to keep their people?????

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

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

Columbia didn't fold. Read the real story before becoming a bouncing Betty people they will hit us with high tariffs just like we did them coffee and fruits will sky rocket because Fascist Trump called the immigrants criminals!

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

So, trump hits american companies buying stuff from columbia with a tariff. Columbia does not pay the tariff and it is not going to affect anyone but the american consumer who the american companies, who paid the hidden tax he just imposes on us, the consumer, won't actually pay in the long run because that tariff just becomes part of their cost of goods that they will add to their sales prices.

You can bet that every country he has threatened with tariffs, travel restrictions and other sanctions are already taking steps to be ready for them. Not only tit-for-tat tariffs etc, but also plans pulling national funds and other investments out of US banks and corporations and numerous other less obvious retaliations. The Law of Unintended Consequences is about to kick into effect big time and it will be interesting to see how it is manifested. Putin and Xi must be laughing their asses off.

The media always misses the mark on the tariffs. They are either stupid or intentionally wanna smear the president. Colombia ?? already folded and complied with the US. CNN literally missed the whole point #fakenews

Well, this is good. Why the hell aren’t these countries taking back their own people because they know that those individuals are no good that’s why they sent them to us in the first place so this is a good thing. That being said he needs to ease back on with these other two countries I mean really we trade with them a lot talk about getting expensive mercy. 3:41 why does CNN have all these specialist and analyst on? They are always totally wrong and bias and one sided I mean come on they put the story out knowing that Columbia was gonna fold immediately so all this talk is for nothing just making people fearful of outcomes that have already been decided so they need to get off gas and shut the hell up I don’t know why you click on CNN they have not been telling the truth for years

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 ?

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.

Every Latin American country, most be join BRICS and get away from the USA, Trump must be left alone by all of us, and us have to be united. he is a traitor, that will turn against all of us at some point. this is the time to act.

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.

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

When did the readership of cnn get so frikking stupid. The US is the biggest consumer country in the world. Tariffs will only hurt Americans, all of your costs will go up. You pay tariffs, we don’t. For Columbia, your coffee, tropical fruit like bananas, flowers are going up. For Canada, your gas prices, housing costs. Mexico, fruits and vegetables….basically your inflation is going to sky rocket.

All of a sudden US has a president.

Well, this is good. Why the hell aren’t these countries taking back their own people because they know that those individuals are no good that’s why they sent them to us in the first place so this is a good thing.
