You know what’s gonna happen? US applies tariffs on literally the whole world and the whole world doesn’t feel a thing except American citizens feeling the pinch and then Donald Trump takes credit for reducing the country’s debt from making their citizens poorer.

Yes, you can buy coffee that does not come from Colombia. However, when one supplier raises their prices for their product, this means demand rises for their competitor's product -- and an increase in demand will cause the competitor to raise their prices to slightly less than the supplier who is raising prices due to tariffs. This is done to maximize profits and take full advantage of the increase in demand.

Colombia didnt back down at all, thats the one sided narrative from Trump. Petro said they will not accept people chained up like criminals but would accept and even supply aircraft to bring them back respectfully. So if Trumpet now sends them back respectfully he will have backed down.\nImage the rest of the world hit the US with tariffs and watch a failing country fail further. Trump wont feel a thing but the normal people in the US will suffer.

Columbia will tariff US goods and move to closer relations with China. Who does that make great, the US or China?

Columbia folds under threat of tariffs over illegal immigration. There fixed your cheesy headline

I drink Costa Rican coffee make the Tariffs 200 percent

Americans still don’t understand tariffs.

This is why you should have never voted this inept idiot into office. Americans pay the tariffs ?you idiot.

The Mango Mussolini is a complete lunatic. Using tariffs solely to get revenge on a nation that hasn't done as he wants. American consumers will have to pay increased grocery prices solely because of the Tan tinted toddlers fragile ego. Colombia has absolutely no obligation to do as the Orange lunatic wants?

Every country should unite and shut the US down, they’ll only end up hurting their own economy by issuing tariffs, which is good for everyone else. Time to break the Zionist hegemony.

Columbia retalitory threats of matching tariffs is no threat at all.\nBrazil and Switzerland would be ecstatic to make up for the covfefe exported from columbia to the USA.\nThat's not a typo. Covfefe is just coffee identifying as something else.

The idiot still does not seem to understand that americans pay the tariffs.

Yet they won't report the tariff threats worked and that Columbia has nor decided to take back their illegal immigrants and even sending their own plane to do so!

After CNN tried to talk bad about Trump for his decision to tariff Columbia... I wish bias media would just let the President show you why he was elected and why he's president and not y'all. Columbia immediately changed course and now accepting all Trump planes with their own citizens and they are sending their own planes and paying for flights rejected. CNN salty now

Hey, yankies. Tariffs only hurt the American people, not Trump. So, are the UNITED STATES OF TERRORISM gearing up to try and destroy yet another SOVEREIGN government? Like they have around the world and most recently in Ukraine. ????\nThe world is wise to you yanks now. YANKS, NO THANKS. STOP THE ISRAELI/ US OCCUPATION OF GAZA. FREE PALESTINE ????????????????????????

On any problem we hear now „tariffs, tariffs, tariffs“. Think for future relationships it‘s not the best idea to threaten every country with higher tariffs. Think that many countrys will than try to strengthen relationship to e.g. China. Just look to chatgpt vs deepseek, donˋt overestimate america

I love it when CNN *pretends* to be a news network. They waste time reporting on fantasy scenarios that *never* happen. There is not a tariff war with Colombia. Trump was merely negotiating with the Colombian president using hardball tactics. Why is that so difficult to understand? These talking heads aren't real journalists.

Tariffs is another name for Sanctions.. sanctions has lost its values so they changed the name ??

Once again, tariffs are not paid by the imports coming into the USA, customs has to pay and USA citizens have to pay a higher price for those goods. This guy doesnt know or understand how tariffs work ???

People thinking tariffs on Columbia are actually paid by Columbia lol

Colombia doesn’t pays the tariff the American people pay the tariffs….that goes for all countries exporting to the US. We pay, they don’t.

The Tariffs wouldn’t affect Columbia, it’s the vendors stateside that will need to charge the consumer more lol ?. Thanks Trump. I don’t drink coffee nor snort cocaine

Who will pay for these nonsense tariffs? People of america.

This guy really thinks he can just bully everyone into submission. Did he not learn from China before? \nHe is helping countries into an easy US isolation. What if many countries around apply that same tariff back to the US? Then what?

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

Howdy Trumpies? Prepare for inflation. I wonder if MAGA even understand how tariffs work? Tariffs are trade barriers, and they can be used to protect domestic industry. \nSuppose US imports a product 'A' for $100 from some country. Now, if 10% tariffs are imposed on that country then that product 'A' would be sold for $110. Enjoy!!! \nYes, a domestic company can produce that product A and sell it at low prices like say $90, since no import duties or stuff. However, that takes time and not all products can be produced domestically!

So lets say if all the countries in South America, don't agree with trump hes gonna impose tariffs. Now no country wants to pay extra so their gonna reach out to China and Russia for security. Next thing you know the pacific is storming with chinese and russian vessels. Is this what trump wants??

Go Columbia, Mexico.\nThe world needs to tariff Trump and as a felon refused entry rights.\nWhy should the world accept US criminals just because they are president.

Trump hits Colombia with retaliatory tariffs over deportation flights

The two flights to Mexico that got turned away carried less than 100 migrants cost US taxpayers $900,000! CNN might want to mention that. Drumpf used expensive military jets because he just couldn't wait for CBP jets (because he wanted a photo shoot!). He should have to pay for the extra cost out of his pocket, not ours. What will it cost to take migrants back to China? Tax cuts for the billionaire broligarchs cost US money. Using C-130 aircraft is overkill and affects military readiness. Threatening tariffs on our allies is going to spark trade wars. He's a moron.

Hunter Biden will not be happy about this tariff. His poor cocaine!

So he’s going to tariff cocaine I guess ?

I am not sure you can put a tariff on cocaine.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks suspiciously like a nail. The tariff threats are becoming boring now.

This is criminal and illegal. This is utter slap in the face to the lawful people who have to follow the rules. Please fine Mexico in letting this happen. Tariffs are a start

What a man president trumps probably the best American president ever .cnn why do you not report that less than a hour after saying he was going to introduce tariffs on Columbia . There president agreed to take them back . And this was 3 hours ago . CNN Why do you to continue to lie to the American people and the world .what a disgusting so called news channel you are

Trump has no clue how Tariffs work he only hurting the USA.

All these American women. Were worried that they would have to pay double for their bbls and other implants cause of these tariff wars and travel bans lol

Not long after this story aired and the Colombian President did the math on those Tariffs - a bunch of Colombian Airport runways opened up! \nTrump - GOAT!

YOU JUST CANT DENY THE POWER OF TARIFF! good job DJT

Not long after Trump gave them the Tariff speech - a bunch of Columbian Airport runways just opened up !

Let the tariff begin

lol all the tariffs is just tax on us Americans to fund government craziness and deficit.

What if, Colombia does not retaliate, so U.S. goods entering Colombia remain tariff-free. Colombian consumers continue to pay normal prices for U.S. products. They may even benefit from increased exports if Colombian producers find alternative markets for their goods.??? I wonder who will be Upset... ???

If you all support Trump, remember you have to support his tariffs if someone doesn't back down the next time. That means you pay more for certain products. You either support his actions or not.

Do consumers get affected by the increased tariffs?

That was simple... loving Tariff and Chief!

USA!USA!USA! #1! God bless us! Wait for all of this to hit our pocketbooks….. especially after we launch tariffs on China! And of course, watch retaliatory tariffs from China hit US exports.

Imagine, if Trump issues 25% tariffs to all countries on this planet.

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter
