Tariffs that the American people will pay. It's that simple.

Where are the China tariffs, where most illegal immigrants come from? Oh, Trump only bullies the weak

China is laughing at the Klan in Chief. These Tariffs will only push more countries to BRICS

To all the nay sayers out there, Colombia just folded, and planes are now being allowed to land. See how the tariff tool works. The United States has the largest market in the world. Trump is the man, thank God for Trump.

Colombia imposes 50% tariffs on the USA, says President Gustavo Petro. Take it back!

Tariff coffee. I DARE HIM TO TARIFF COFFEE.

i did the math. one flight had 80 migrants. 25k per hour C17 fuel cost. roughly 600mph, 8 hour round trip. not counting personnel and maintenance. 400k round trip. 5k per migrant. WTF. Why would you not use commercial flights. How has the media not spotted this glaring expenditure? Insane.................... Not even talking about tariffs now.......... Cost to US citizens food. WTF.

Columbia is a Republic, like the US. Socialism is an economic construct, not a form of government. And no one has yet to both to educate a dementia riddled 78 year old on how tariffs work.\nIs there any other misinformative orange turd rhetoric that needs clearing up?

House TRUMP request Colombia to bend the knee. \n\nColombia: “no we won’t”\n\nHouse Trump: “chug these tariffs”\n\nColombia: “we declare for House Trump, send a raven to the The White Keep about our surrender”

Good for Columbia. Stand proud and stand tall 60% of America is behind you all the way. The tariffs won't affect your country just makes prices higher for us which is what trump wants to do to keep all of us suppressed as all dictators do!!

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!

Felon and moron Trump doesn’t know that tariffs will raise costs to Americans!

Colombia knows his game if they accept he will sill slap tariffs. Those are used for running a business not the country threatening other countries and demanding war. Narcissist violent psychopath behavior ?no one is doing shit about this he is tryna get richer for himself demanding other countries to pay him. Lying to his supporters by raising prices on them on everything.

So, trump hits american companies buying stuff from columbia with a tariff. Columbia does not pay the tariff and it is not going to affect anyone but the american consumer who the american companies, who paid the hidden tax he just imposes on us, the consumer, won't actually pay in the long run because that tariff just becomes part of their cost of goods that they will add to their sales prices.

I just heard that the Colombia cave into Dictator trump because the tariffs would hurt the Colombia more than it would hurt America.

And Columbia has issued they own tariffs against the US. What nots being told is that they were using military planes. Petro has offered his own presidential plane to transport these humans

You can bet that every country he has threatened with tariffs, travel restrictions and other sanctions are already taking steps to be ready for them. Not only tit-for-tat tariffs etc, but also plans pulling national funds and other investments out of US banks and corporations and numerous other less obvious retaliations. The Law of Unintended Consequences is about to kick into effect big time and it will be interesting to see how it is manifested. Putin and Xi must be laughing their asses off.

This is too funny ?. Just keep issuing even more tariffs is only going to come back to bite us in the butt to us consumers. We get a lot of imported goods from other countries, the costs for us to purchase everyday things you enjoy is going to go up as well. I don’t understand how people don’t understand that.

No, he Threatened tariffs, and literally MINUTES later, the Colombian commie terrorist crapped his pants and sent his OWM PLANE to get the illegal migrants ... MAGA!!!! ?????

So, tariffs for everyone, so it's cheaper for everyone to trade with each other and take the US out of the equation.

Trump should put tariffs on every country where illegals are sent back until the cost of deportation is met.

Does Trump know that tariffs are not magical? Does he know what tariffs even are?

Should have made it 100 per cent tariff sure they don’t want their criminals back

Way to go President Trump!!!!! Tariff’s should wake them up real fast!!! ❤❤❤??????

This is going to backfire if Colombia joins BRICS+\nMy only concern with weaponizing the dollar with imposed tariffs is that it will motivate countries to abandon the dollar as their primary trade currency and join BRICS+ . This will be devistating to us

Oh no coffee and cocaine are more expensive… i dont use either so tariff the shit outta em mr president????

Shoulda put 100% tariffs

Tariff hurts us....

inbound tariffs dont hurt the countries material is coming from but it hurts the receiving country,s like us. basically he just added another commodity and goods tax to american business. Columbia is probably laughing at this. what material that is directly shipped from them is probably illegally smuggle past customs anyway tariffs would have no effect

Orange man imposed tariffs oh he’s so tough. I wonder how quickly he will sink his own ship. Hopefully in less than a month, Trump has NO power.

FAFO 25% TO 50% Tariffs yessssss

Does he STILL not understand that tariffs don't hurt the foreign country, they hurt American consumers of that countries exports? Do his cult followers not recognize that?

Other countries don’t pay tariffs. Someone should tell Trumpty dumpster

By the way .. where is the money from the tariffs going? Who keeps that I mean

The only thing these tariffs do is punish Americans. Good job Don ???.

I hope all countries will do a Colombia. Let's see how Americans are gonna pay for anything when Trump impose tariffs on every country in the world

Any Latin country that refused to take back they citizen should be put on a no flight list and all travel visa to those countries should be denied and a 45%tariffs as well.

Sorry to disappoint CNN but the tariff threat worked. Colombia folded already.

The media always misses the mark on the tariffs. They are either stupid or intentionally wanna smear the president. Colombia ?? already folded and complied with the US. CNN literally missed the whole point #fakenews

Can someone explain what a Tariff is to the media?

What happens when SOUTH AMERICA as a TRADING BLOCK Tariffs the U.S. out of its inflammatory practice of...\n \nwanting migrant work for produce picking, packing/stocking....\n\nbut, swiftly penalizing them (migrants) when they try to get citizenship. So they can b ethically paid. Hv rights. Etc.\n\nWho will add to the U.S. exports, by doing the types of labor...\n\nAmericans hate & refuse to do......\nMigrant level Work for Migrant level Wages. Hmm?

Trump didn’t hit them with “retaliatory tariffs.” He started this trade war. He did this first. The tariffs aren’t retaliatory, they are just dumbass tariffs.

100 % tariff would be good.

There are other sources of food produce. Colombia produces coal, some coming to the USA, but the USA has its own coal, therefore a tariff on Colombian goods could be good for the USA coal industry.

Colombia caved within an hour. Tariffs are leverage.

The only loosers are the American consumers that have to pay high prices on all the tariffs. People voted to lower cost and the opposite is happening. ?

And 39 minutes later the President of Colombia folded and offered his own Personal Presidential Plane to fly them back. Its almost like tariffs doesnt ONLY affect US citizens.

Can Mercedes Cannon delay those tariffs for her native country?

It’s funny how he shift from the issue of how tariffs affect people in the US to the subject of migrant deportations. Yeahhhh illegal migrants are the main reason why we have inflations and higher costs of living. The consumer gets the short end of the stick. Companies who gets their good from overseas pass on those tariffs on to us the consumer, they’re not going to pay for it.

Tariffs end up being paid by Americans…..
