Your fault Trump for not clearing all flights first. Just because you ordered it in America, does not mean other Countries are going to bow down to your wishes.... your Vendictive like a child... you don't care for others....

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.

Trump is completely crazy. I mean, Biden is a war criminal, but Trump, Trump is just completely crazy. Like a sort of Putin 2.0.

Amazing to think a nation could vote for a DEI president like Trump. Kind hearts in the US ensuring the mentally incapacitated remain valuable members of society by making him president. Such a lovely gesture by a caring nation. DEI Presidente Chumpo.

Haha in Trump face, he think he's the man and got played out like he played his stupid supporters \nI'm glad Columbia standing their ground, Trump is a big POS

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Would like to have seen coverage of President Petro's beautiful, patriotic and dignified letter to Trump. I encourage you to look it up.

Don’t like everything trump does … but this was a good one… let’s go Trump!

Congratulations America electing Trump means you won’t have any country working with you on any level. \n\nNo one like a bully

? looks like other leaders don’t respect Trump.

Did Trump study economics at Wharton? Does his small brain comprehend that WE, the U.S. pays the tax(tariff)and then companies like Starbucks just double their prices to compensate?

why is Trump want to dump the deportees in any country, that's not acceptable, he's acting like he owns the world

Now, these countries will raise their prices to cover the cost of Trump's stupidity. American corporations will use this opportunity to price gouge, like they did with Covid. The costs to American consumers will double within the next year or two. Somehow, Trump will convince his idiotic cult of hatemongers that it is the fault of Democrats or immigrants, or anyone else who won't bow to him.

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

So one of Trump's retaliatory responses is to punish any American company buying Columbian goods or parts. It will cause them to purchase those goods or parts elsewhere but where? Will Trump tariff them next? \nNothing like uncertainty of supply to keep American businesses running efficiently and on their toes.

Welcome to Trump's White Fascist American 2025. Trump has his national enemy, the immigrants just like Hilter created his enemy, the Jews. History repeats.

Stop deporting immigrants fully in chains like you, the USA, are currently doing under Trumps administration. Deport using human conditons.

Why do they keep trying to make trump out to be a bad guy and they keep lying about bidens statistics on deporting...they really are trying to make a narrative that anything bad is on trump...like they keep bringing up why haven't prices gone down and he's been in office all of a week ? it's gonna at least take a couple months to fix what was done. This false reporting is why people are mislead. This is sad

This is what the Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool, Trump is using tariffs as a leverage. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Which is why the Colombian President 'Gustavo Petro' has already folded to Trump and has reversed his decision to allow 2 military transport planes to land there after being threaten with tariffs, serious sanctions etc. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate.

trump is a real gansgster..my country needs a prime minister like him..i dont get it why CNN hates him so much?

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

Good for you, Columbia!!! Oh, so he's not popular like you, Trump?!! Lol!! \nWhat crimes did these Columbian's commit......perhaps an insurrection, and beating on law enforcement officers???

Trump just disguise your planes to look liked drug runners

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

And Columbia backed down. and took their illegals back. Like him or hate him Trump hers things done

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!

Trump's bullying tactics can work with countries like Colombia and Venezuela. Won't work so well with Canada and other Western countries.

LIKE A BOSS!!!! THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!! ?????????

Trump should be impeached cause he has no brain and acts like a mental ill person....FDT

Your headline should read, “Trump Makes Colombian Socialist Leader Fold Like A Card Table.” Trump backed him down in less time than it took him to play the back nine.

No. Military planes is threatening to any country!Colombia doesn't like the president sending them on military planes. He said he will accept the colombians if they are transferred in the normal planes migrants have always came back on. Actually the military planes cost us tax payers 20,000 a flight per hour. The traditional planes cost 8000. So just stick to the normal planes and everyone wins. It really is,all silly. Stupid news. Let's put some regulations on real estate market. So tired of drug money laundering used to buy homes and I cannot afford a home. This is just trump tv unnecessary drama!

It is rare that I find myself agreeing with Trump, but on this he is absolutely right. It shows that the Columbia President was like, we let Americans into our country. Because, why not right?

They already caved. Well done Trump! Joe would have just shit his pants and sniffed heads like a weirdo.

Hooray for President Trump! (I like Fred.)

TAKE YOUR PRISONERS BACK COLUMBIA. These Countries knew what Trump's plan, said they would take them back, then won't let the planes land. So yeah, tariff the sh*it out of them. I'll pay a little more (like I have been for four years) to get our Country back. Americans first!!!

I hope they fight back like hell, it's time for everyone to standup to a criminal so call president of US. He failed to realize the call he made it's going to hurt USA. All of the Republicans Congress and Trump supporters are enjoying this now but we will pay the price for his mess.

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.!

Sounds like Trump is already making us great again

trump doesn't need your cocaine like Biden and Obama, sorry colombia

US is looming to be like N Korea.....an isolated Nation!! DUMB TRUMP is ruining America!!

Yeaaaaa! TRUMP isn’t a cup cake like Biden! Time the countries find out! CNN too. Course they’re broke!

In 4 years there are no more allies left for the us if trump continues like this ? but hey china is happy

This is what it feels like to win! PRESIDENT Donald Trump IS the greatest president of our lifetime! \nBTW: CNN SUCKS!

Trump called the Colombian presidents bluff by threatening sanctions, ending all aid and implementing tariffs and he caved like a deck of cards. Now lets see if Mexico still refuse our cargo planes to bring them back there citizens. Its a new and real comnander in chief in town

So the people of the United States are going to pay for Trump's deportations. So, how do you like that? Your morning cup of coffee is going to be more expensive now. How much more expensive? Ask Trump!.

“…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.”

U have 28 different Hispanic countries, which they all look the same! None of which, like each other at all! ..... well, once Trumps done, they'll sing in a huge f***ing group.

Looks like Trump is trying to start a world war 3

Habha ha what a great man Trump is. Wish i had a president like this..

Sounds like Trump's border policy is working quite well!!! They are going back before they even get here.. That's what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOO TRUMP!!! you are the F88king man!!
