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?

He is going to tariff all world and in the end he is going to tariffs himself.\nRidiculous .

Is it true tariffs are paid at the ports

Donald Trump has disgraced America! He's destroying everything we were once proud to be: American. \nTrump's tariffs hurt us!\nF. Donald Trump

Well when our nation economy begins to suffer these tariffs will go away. It is stupid to do this.

Europe should join South America and Canada and give the orange clown an ultimatum; stop his nonsense threatening or get a 50% tariff on all American goods.

I'm going to fix the economy!... With tariffs smh

United States imports many products from Colombia, including crude oil, coffee, and cut flowers. The US also exports products to Colombia, including oil, corn, and electrical equipment. \nImports\nCrude oil: Colombia is a top ten supplier of crude oil to the United States. \nCoffee: A major export of Colombia. \nCut flowers: A major export of Colombia. \nAnimal, vegetable fats and oils: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nGlass and glassware: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nSoaps, lubricants, waxes, candles, modeling pastes: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nExports\nOil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nCorn: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nElectrical equipment and parts: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oilcake: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nThe United States and Colombia have a trade agreement that aims to improve the investment environment, eliminate tariffs, and expand trade.

Colombia announced their own tariffs !!!!! The president of Colombia said he is also imposing tariffs to the tune of 25% . Why don’t people keep following the news !!!!\nI would not call that. “ folding “

And If Trump puts a tariff on Brazil and Brazilians, there are going to be a lot of unhappy husbands....LOL

50% tariff on cocaine, thats gonna be a huge hit for Don Jr.

@CNN - Soooo he's implementing a tariff on bananas, coffee and.... Cocaine??? I'm sure that's not gonna sit well with the drug dealers...\nBananas and coffee can be sourced elsewhere.\n#Tariff47Instead

Tariffs is money laundering a country's tax payers money only to have a pittance returned in tax breaks.....lmao Trump the professional russian money laundering king

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.

Mad man ! Tariff that’s all he knows to do felons president he is running America to ground!

Why do liberals struggle so much with this form of using tariffs to get positive result for our country? It’s right there I’m front of them and even if they see it happen, it still upsets them to see a Trump success. I really don’t see why they fight him or refuse to acknowledge his plans as working

“”Criminals trump calls them!!! Maybee some but mothers with kids that are to poor to feed there children are deported criminals in trumps and his billionaire friends minds!!!!! Trumps way or highway forget what’s written in the American constitution!!!! It’s all clear sailing for trump his space crazed friend \nElon can pay off any judicial system judge trump needs!!!!! Make trump great again!!!!!!!\nThis is a no win tariff stand off for any country including the USA!!!! Prices will rise in every country!!!!!

Tariff everyone Trump. Let the prices go crazy and then see what people think about your grand orangeness.

Tariffs are leverage, why have people not figured that out yet ?

We the consumer pay for the tariffs.

WHAT A BIG FAT BULLY TRUMP IS. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TARIFFS WORK!! WHAT A FOOL!!! GLAD I LIVE IN CANADA!!

A tariff tantrum. What a goose

Listen up you Trump people he raised tariffs you're gonna be paying more in the market for everything outside the market for everything this is a power trip for him sweaty once you voted for him.

so he's going to slap tariffs on all countries that don't bend to him. lets see how that works out. all countries will dump USA goods for china and other countries. ??

Less than an hour later, Colombian president folds, and is even going to use his own presidential plane to assist in the deportations . Another narrative shot down, the efficacy of tariffs fully being exemplified at the moment. Time to focus on crying families again because you got smashed on this narrative and rather quick I must say.

Make China Great Again.deporting 5% of the work force and putting high tariffs on allies ! Fafo soon . But the eggs.....??????

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 THE MAN... Our prices for products already high without tariffs which tells you alot that companies are screwing us right now... Just don't buy certain products... solved.. Biden was destroying us...

President Peteo has also slapped a 25% tariff on all US goods.

Americans will be going on a forced diet , food /groceries prices about to skyrocket . Between the large % of field workers afraid of I.C.E. so not going to work ,produce is rotting , so shortages will be huge and then tariffs starting Feb 1st . Thanx MAGA for putting this dangerous buffoon and dictator wannabe in The Oval Office . Your chosen ignorance affects ALL Americans who now must pay the consequences of your hatred and stupidity . Stop chanting “ We won Libs, get over it .”

Why does everyone think prices will go up because of tariffs? Don't you know that America is the largest economy in the world, and this is the market everyone wants to participate in? it's a great thing that Trump realizes this, Thank you Donald J. Trump!

Hopefully ALL latino-nations takes this respons to these socalled deportation-flights .... that'll be fun ... and also that they will hike a 50% tariff on ALL AMERICAN GOODS .... Double fun..

We the consumers will pay that tariff. I'm still waiting for the grocery prices to go down on day 1. How does it work for you?

The big stupid orange goblin doesn't realize putting tariffs on them does not hurt them it only hurts his fellow Americans oh wait a minute he doesn't have the Americans he's the devil he only has minions!

Columbia just imposed 50% tariffs on American goods

Colombia's #1 export to the United States is illegal drugs. How exactly do tariffs work on those items?

1000% support New tariff 25% Feb 1, 2025 for Colombia, New tariff 50% March 1, New tariff 75% April 1, 2025 May 1, 2025 Sanction Colombia President. June 1, 2025 stop wise done go back to stone age. Colombia you need great America more than we need you crown,. Go back to stone age. STOP aid to any country refusing to take back their illegal migrants.

so, tariffs are just for punishment? Who could have known...

Tariffs are the answer most of the time. Go Trump!!

Oh Well Starbucks going to have to increase their prices :P not a big lost don't we all agree. two weeks later Trump removes the Tariffs.

Not once did CNN explain to viewers/voters that tariffs are paid by the consumers via higher prices. Sad journalism.

What's he gonna do? Put tariffs on coke? Trump is a joke.

Grocerie tariffs will be paid for by American consumers just wait and pay

Let Trump put on tariffs, it just costs Americans more

Tariffs don't affect what Colombia pays, it affects what _we_ pay. So he's doing these things to cost the people money, not another country. Tariffs cost us!! Still waiting for eggs, groceries, and home costs to go down...wasn't that supposed to be day 1? Oh, and peace in Ukraine. Glad this is all going so well...out wait...

Um Can someone in or around Trump tell him that tariffs don’t punish Colombia? Trump is literally the dumbest man on this planet.
