What do you mean retaliatory? Just pay what’s due, fair trade!

Shortest trade war in history

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

Donald Trump is driving trades towards CHINA ,With his stupid tarriff

Oh dear...can we assume that Columbia will continue or begin trading with other countries leaving us with shortage of food etc?

U.S has a 4bn trade surplus with Colombia so when they do a reciprocal tariff it will cost us more. Someone tell Trumpy.

China says thank you very much!! Soon we will be surrounded by counties turning to China as a trading partner instead of the US. Trump will make China the Super Power as we become a third world shithole.

Every country in the world should gang up against the US and see if they can trade by themselves in isolation.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

Perhaps CALIFORNIA will have to just ignore what D.C. Republican's want and make their own Trade Deals directly through SACRAMENTO ? At least for the next 2-4 Years.

Update... No trade War, Colombia Caves! El Presidente de Colombia offers his Presidential plane to fly home the Illigal Alien Lawbreakers! ATTABOY PRESIDENT TRUMP! ??

It’s only been a week and the orange doofus is starting trade wars.

Begun, the trade war has...

He just speed ran this trade war. FAFO ?

Well countries going to hit agent orange right back each flight costing over 500k of tax payer money. 20 dollar eggs on its way, Mexico Canada making trade deals with China Americans will get screwed hard,thanks magats

Chian will gladly buy up everything that trump hikes up, new trade partners , trump is running our economy into the ground

A trade war? CNN is high. Columbia doesn't import enough product, nor exports enough product to effect anything. \n\nFools, still pumping out fake news.

The Colombian president said the migrants deserved to go into Colombia like decent humans that's why he returned them back, and trump got head just started a trade war

Trade war lasted 1 hour Columbia backed down.\nUSA USA USA USA USA USA

So, regardless the propaganda, Trump hasn’t even reached Biden’s deportation lvl; and yet somehow, this causes trade war with Colombia? Don’t fall for the cult folks!!

Ohh No ... Guess we would just have to stop doing trade with them all together..... You telling me another country wouldn't do whatever had to be done to take the place on imports / exports ?? Folgers Coffee goes up in price ... Maxwell House drops their price in hopes to garner all of Folgers business.... That's how business works .....

This is so stupid, if trump’s solution to international affairs is to imposed tariffs on the countries who don’t bend to his will, most countries will be smart and form an alliance to just cut the u.s. out and spread the wealth within that alliance. Trump is going to lose all of our trade partners, and bring us to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Is this how trade wars starts? \nThreaten your friends ? Will only create enemies..\nWhat comes next ? \nA man who lacks empathy and negotiation skills..cause more hate, chaos, and is a danger to the world..\nPrepare and start storaging food, water, emergency supplies..just in case..\nTHE END? ???

Pretty soon Americans will be trading and fighting among themselves ..LOL and you thought prices were high under Biden

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.

A trade war with Columbia. Oh no.

I dont think the cartels actually care about tariffs. Does Columbia have any other real trade with the US?

All these tariffs just say, America isn't a reliable trade partner anymore.

Fuck we are about to tarif ourselves to hell. Those sorts of tariffs are going to either destroy trade between countries or everything is about to get very expensive..

So if it carries on like this, Donald Chaos is going to be applying trade tariffs against many of his neighbors for not taking back their migrants that the US needs to keep their domestic economy afloat? So it'll be costing the US at least an equivalent cost increase to continue buying goods from Columbia (and other countries as yet unknown to add to the list) until the US has no sources left to switch to that are un-tariffed and more economic.\nThese countries will just sell their goods elsewhere if the US doesn't buy them, so the American consumer loses out and pays to finance this fiasco in the making = US price inflation. \nSo falling out with your neighbors is how to make America great again is it?\nWhat sort of successful businessman works like this and succeeds? Donald Chaos, the Art of The Fail.

Great, a trade war has started. Everything will start to get more expensive. Thanks MAGA! ?

Hey Columbia... Send your fruits to Canada ?? ! We were buying from California & Florida. We are open to buy from you & cuba free trade style ???? .. this is A MESS!!!

Donald J6 Trump starts the Trade Wars. There goes the deficit.

So now they trade with China, our kids are screwed.

Let the trade war begin... remember Americans... you voted for this... dont cry later when your coffee (covfefe hihi), fruits, plants etc cost more ?

Hahahah fuck around find out Columbia! Find someone else to trade with!

Trump will finish with a world wide trade war. Countries will stop trading with the US and it will cost the US trillians.

This is what Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool. 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. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate. That's the difference between a President with business experience, as opposed to a President who is a lawyer and a lifelong politician.

Trump is just shoving MORE countries to belong to BRICS. Just like Cuba who can now tell the USA to kiss their ass with all those sanctions. In the end Trump and the USA will LOSE A TRADE WAR. Canada is ready to discontinue ALL oil sent to the USA making gas prices go HIGHER here. US consumers pay the tariffs.

I wonder if the United States is going to start getting trade embargos against them?

Obama was able to deport most people effectively without starting trade wars and mismanagement of resources. Why is Trump failing at having other nations accept their citizens while with Obama that was wired out?

Well....Starbucks is gone and coffee is like likely to triple in price, I wonder what caffeine addicted MAGA are going to do now? What about wood prices....hard to make affordable housing without inexpensive wood, and that's not even counting the Crude oil we get...If the Man-Child in charge is going to tariff everyone who pisses him off the whole world is going to be in a trade war against us.... make america great again by alienating the whole world and causing everything we buy more expense....thats the plan.

the uk is lookign to trade with cananda to replace usa, we could take colubia too. the EU is considering making canada part of the EU

The entire western world needs to bite the bullet, take the hardships, and stop trading with the US, period. It would only be hard temporarily, but the whole world would be much better off in the long run. Wouldn't a world without American lies and BS be wonderful?

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

that is a bad move from trump, all these countries can turn their back to use dollar to trade and soon use the BRICS currency. deport is the right move, however deport with human dignity. Not all these ilegal Citizens are criminals, only a fraction of them

It's not gonna hurt Colombia. All they're goin to do is find somebody else to trade with. Plain and simple

The world needs to stand up to Trump. They should stop all Trade to the USA. Keep their stock and reconstruct a world economic forum. If Trump doesn’t want to negotiate and honour trade agreements that he committed too, no one should commit to doing business. Just look to his history, he is a fraud and a bully. He used MAGA to get to where he is and now they are left with scrambled eggs and Bird Flu. Oh yeah, no public notice required - why inform the public of infectious and safety related health and food issues. Eating USA products is equivalent to Russian Roulette.

Didn’t Donald Trump had multiple trade wars during his last presidency?

Trump is full of BS. Why didn't he put tariffs on Mexico. They also refused to allow those flights to land in Mexico. He is picking on a country where trade is not really significant.
