If they don't want tariffs, they need to take their own people back. Would they prefer Rwanda?

Tariffs equals higher prices but a dummy wouldn't know that

Remember people those tariffs are paid by us not the country with the tariffs.

So the U.S. citizens is about to pay the Columbian tariffs. Isolation is a dream killer the U.S. has become isolated. Thank MAGA. ?

Gullible Gomers. Trump didn't invent deportations.Obama had more deportations than Trump. Biden sent planes of immigrants back to Colombia every couple of days. But they were in passenger planes, not military planes. That's all the Colombian president was complaining about. He wasn't refusing the deportees. \nBut then Trump does his little roleplay for you guys and threatens with tariffs, and you think he's some tough guy forcing Colombia to accept deportees. It's all PR stunts and propaganda to make the dear leader look tough.

So you guys do know that these produce he tariffs on hurts Americans because all of the produce we use are mainly from Latin America

Why a Tariff? just tell them you don't want their products anymore. Columbia i doubt can afford to straight up lose that.

I support the move to place tariffs on Columbia’s exports to the U.S.A. !!!!!

Everybody has some sort Internet connection. They need to look up what Tariffs are. When Trump was campaigning he said he was going to put a 25% tariff in China and all of his supporters cheered and clapped ! I’m sitting here going don’t they know that that increase cost is going to be pushed down to the consumer?!?!! It’s the everyday American who is going to end up paying that 20% 25% increased in cost!!! it’s going to affect our living standards and not in a good way! Not the wealthy people in this country who Trump says he’s going to protect because they’re his friends! I don’t get it! Trump is sitting here, threatening to put tariffs on all the countries that’s not doing what he wants them to do! And people cheer! Unless you’re the wealthy, you’re gonna be screwed with the cost-of-living that’s gonna be reflected in those tariffs!!

Hit trump back with tariffs .hes a moron

WHO does the tariffs hurt? AMERICAN CITIZENS!\n\nA 5th grade Civics student knows more about tariffs than the President of the United States!

Columbia already caved in to the tariffs.\nNow, tell us how tariffs dont work again.

Should've hit Columbia with 100% tariffs! All these Latin American countries thought they were being cute by emptying out their prisons & mental institutions! They should've thought that 1 through a bit more! The message is clear, Don't F with POTUS Donald J. Trump!

The Colombian president asks for respect. Being illegal is a minor crime, the Colombian is not a criminal. That is what Colombia asked for. He also offered to send the presidential plane to help, but transporting a Colombian with handcuffs in international territory is kidnapping since that minor crime does not exist in Colombia. And if Trump threatens to raise tariffs, Colombia does too... and China wants to help us... gringos, the Titanic is sinking...

Hahaha so scared of trumps Tariffs..NOT!! American coffee drinkers enjoy your very expensive morning beverage ?

Tariffs and sanctions that are always used as a weapon by America are the reasons why” BRICKS” was created.

A new and powerful, terrific, frightening, effective weapon against other countries who try to be funny with Trump USA: tariffs.

I just heard this. What is the motive behind the blockade? Is he liberal, meaning the leader of Colombia? Or are they saying no to international criminals? Why block it? Meaning Columbia. They are citizens of that nation. Feels like they are violating International law...meaning Columbia. Just take them back, and avoid the tariffs Why suffer economically to play politics in a country they don't live in? I question the Columbia's leader's morality. People will suffer, economically. Perhaps, that man needs to step down from his office for breaching international laws regulating international immigration treaties. Step down, being the civilized way, to avoid conflict and misery.

You’re forgetting to report that Colombian President (or whatever) has changed his mind and now accepting his citizens after tariff threats ??

America needs to include tariffs on companies that outsource jobs to countries like India and the Philippines. Healthcare policies should be revisited to better serve American citizens. Taxpayer money should focus on domestic priorities rather than being sent abroad. Strengthening U.S. borders with a permanent military or National Guard presence is essential for national security. Additionally, we must reassess our involvement in endless foreign wars and critically examine the underlying dynamics of global control, power and wealth influence by Israel real agenda!

guess who will be paying for those tariffs.......you fools

They were denied because they arrived on military planes, which the Colombian president perceived as a lack of respect and that the migrants were being treated as criminals. After threatening a retaliatory tariff the president conceded and accepted that they will receive any planes without delay.

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

He can make threats about tariffs, but the Media won't tell you that those countries are starting to charge 25% tariffs to accept illegal aliens back. So he might look like a good president? He's going to make the economy fail.?

Tariffs work, don’t they liberals? ❤

So if tariffs are so bad why do most developing nations have high tariffs and most developed don’t? It’s to help developing nations.

UPDATE: Less than an hour after Trump made these threats the Colombia sent the president’s plane to collect their deported criminal migrants on our behalf and all tariffs have been dropped. CNN viewers are morons.

America imports more from colombia so retaliatory tariffs

You liberals are so mad because his tariff strategy actually worked in real time!??

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

CNN stop being bias—— why aren’t they reporting that this was already resolved with 39 mins of the tariffs being announced? The president of Colombia even offered his plane to transport these illegals and why is CNN calling them undocumented when they are illegal “criminals” ? They are trying to sell you the idea that what trump is doing here is bad

A tariff is a tax on us. We pay it, not the country he's threatening. That means you too!!!

I was told tariffs didn't work.

Nice to see we are caving to the pressure from the united states. Thank god. And the canadian media still tries to tell you america is scared of our retaliation tariffs lol what a joke.

Tariffs can work who woulda thunk it ?.

Well, tariffs worked beautifully.

Canada wants to work with you Trump! Please don't deport Jim Carrey, Ryan Reynolds, Mike Myers and Micheal Cera back to Canada. We will pay the tariffs!!

Trump's constant threat of tariffs only instills in our trading partner that they need to find someone new to trade with. Americans hear the word tariff out of Trump's mouth and they say yes, yes and they should be saying NO, NO. America is just not a reliable alli.

Columbia president caved in 20 mins after threatening tariffs

0 minutes after imposing the tariff, Colombia agreed to take back their illegal migrants, and Trump removed the tariff. Why did CNN leave this out ?

Imagine how other countries look at America, knowing Donald Trump will throw huge tariffs & sanctions at their country if they don’t give him what he wants.

Update your viewers the tariff threats just worked well big time, a win for Trump. Sorry, I forgot you only cover what is negative about Republicans

Colombia already went back are their proposal the tariffs are over. Venezuela said they’d gladly take them.

Good luck on collecting those tariffs on cocaine!?????

There is a reason why tariffs are called voodoo economics. It doesn't work!!!!! And the US sinks deep into a great depression because of a demented leader.

This is just a nothing story, Trump loves to play the theatrics. Media played right into his hands, again. . No he cannot, we have a trade agreement with Columbia that eliminates tariffs between the 2 countries. Just more dog and pony show for his supporters. I'm not disputing deporting people who are here illegally. Just calling bs,

How about cnn explain the function of tariffs to US citizens and why it’ll be more expensive for goods eating cats and dogs

nobady gives a shit about comlumbians -but im sure-when they will take back their own people-tariffs will drop

Border control and immigration are absolutely a major issue that needs to be addressed. For instance, Canada should have been on top of border control a long time ago. Safety for Canadiand AND Americans. But Canada can't just give in. Where does it end. Everytime Trump wants something he is just going to keep threatening with tariffs. Do as i say or 25% tariffs. This is not a way to deal with other countries.
