All it took was the tariff threat and bro backed down in like 30 min lmao. Thats how its done

The Colombian state will not have to pay an extra cent, the tariffs are loaded onto US consumers, increasing their cost of living.

Columbia, they're your people. You'd deny the entrance of your own people? You SHOULD be sanctioned and tariff'd. And to you folks who think this means you're going to pay more? Don't buy those products. There's nothing that Columbia produces that we either can't get elsewhere, produce ourselves, or do without.

Imagine the prices increase when he starts putting tariffs on EU? USA will have a hard time with high prices

tariffs ...Americans pay. This is a tax that flows into the state treasury. prices rise through tariffs. even if he claims otherwise.

Good, raise the tariffs until they take their people back.

This is going to be fun: ~25% of crops may be lost due to migrants staying home instead of risking getting caught in the fields, another chunk of crops in California may be lost to contamination by the giant battery fire from two weeks ago, and Felon Trump is slapping tariffs on a bunch of countries the USA will need to offset that food production deficit.

Tariffes are paid by importer who passes cost to USA CONSUMERS! think about that people! He is punishing US!\nThe only true power ge has is tariffs n deportation. ... everything else he threatens has to be approved by congress etc

yeah, tariffs on colombian goods, that'll get them scared, lol

LMAO what a clown. Get ready for more expensive coffee and anything else coming from Colombia.\nRemember, Columbia does not pay the tariff, WE DO. Every product that Americans use that contains\ncaffeine will now go up in price so that importers can recoup the tariff the AMERICAN company had\nto pay to import it. So, your Starbucks coffee will go up, ground coffee, instant coffee, energy drinks, etc.\nwill ALL GO UP IN PRICE.\n\nThe Orange Traitor sticking it to Americans once again. He grifted off of MAGA for years and they\nvoted him back in. He's constantly signing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, all of which\nare or will be challenged in court. And now he begins his dumbass tariff wars to skyrocket prices and\ninflation in THIS country.\n\nHey MAGA, when are you going to figure out this criminal president doesn't give a f*** about you. He \ndoesn't need your vote anymore, and he's a lame duck president. He's gone insane trying to use \nbully tactics to enact his racist immigration ideas. He's destroying the immigrant workforce in \nAmerica. Gas prices up, food prices up. Inflation up already. Violence up already. THIS is what you\nvoted for.

and Petro backfired with tariffs. Well done Petro. Also, all countries in Latin America should request a visa to enter any Latin America countries to all USA citizens.

Trump is just reckless. Too lazy for proper diplomacy so basically just say tariffs, tariffs, tariffs.. even if it hobbles the US economy. Get ready for labor shortages and more inflation.

Tariffs will be sent as aid to Isra hell courtesy of your zl0 nist govt \nMeanwhile Americans will pay extra by inflation & taxes

Wait till China hits USA with 100% tariffs ?

Does 47 (and his supporters) still not understand that WE pay the tariffs?!?!?!

Again, does he actually know what a tariff does? I don't think he does, know.

He put a tariff on cocaine LOL

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

This is all fake news the only fkn thing true is hes raising tariffs. The prices just went up on some goods. Fk i said this ni66u was the bankruptor in chief. Hes here

Tariffs means that US business will pay an additional cost to import the product which will then be passed on the US consumer through higher prices. So the only ones who will suffer are American consumers.

You guys realize that the president of Columbia already reversed his decision and is submitting to Trump's demands, right? looks like tariffs work, and democrats are wrong. AGAIN!

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

Which dumb ass doesn't realize that the end consumer is the one who eventually has to pay the tariffs, not the country where the goods are being imported from because it will get added into the cost of importing and down to consumers.

Such an idiot. Dear MAGA, who do you think will pay those tariffs? Not the Columbians Your supreme white leader needs a tutorial on economics..

I don't think the cartels care too much about tariffs... lol

Those of you saying that tariffs will not work, Colombian president has already made a statement to send a plane to take back his people ??.

Companies that import products pay tariffs then they pass the cost on to the consumer.\n Trump has his head firmly up his backside.

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..

lol is he going to tariff Don Jr’s cocaine?

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.

Why do you people say he hits other countries with tariffs? It doesn’t affect anyone but we the people, the consumers. So STFU ? or report the truth

He's crashing ? the economy and there's nothing we can do about it ? tariffs deportation tax increases we're sp fooked

Trump is such a moron. They shouldn't say the tariffs are on Columbia. They don't pay them. They should say Trump punishes US taxpayers with tariffs on Columbia that are passed onto us.

What products will Trump put tariffs on in Columbia, emeralds or cocaine? Trump is such a schmuck, it's embarrassing for sane Americans.

If only he truly understood how tariffs worked. Dumba$$

Is tariffs the only thing that Trump knows? Should have elected a Parott!

So, what is trump putting a tariff on from Colombia, COCAINE!?! I'm sure Donny JR. will be complaining about that!!! :)

You the American consumer pays the tariff! Jesus christ report it correctly.

Tariffs as punishment - what could go wrong ?

You can't bully countries with tariffs, this will back fire. You guys voted for this guy.

So, tRump way on governing is to threaten everyone that doesn't agree with him isn't that the approach of a dictator. But the tariffs are going to HURT US the American consumers not the other countries.

No country in the World will compromise it's sovereignty with the threat of tariffs

Trump is going to impoverish the USA with all these tariffs. The US citizen just won't want to pay the prices that are now being asked for imported goods that cannot be purchased from local sources. (And the price of locally sourced goods will also shoot up because of higher demand). Well done Trump, you are only punishing your own citizens with tariffs and they will hate you for it.

Right out of Oprah's playbook...you get a tariff, and you get a tariff, and you get a tariff!

Excellent President Trump, This communist and criminal Colombian president does not want their co-nationals criminals back. Horrible. Triple the tariffs, stop the import of flowers and coffee, next close the embassy and stop all visas to the US.

How are you going to tariff something that doesn’t come into the country through legal means? Nobody wants their nose candy taxed.

Tariffs are a two way street, and Americans will suffer higher prices on things like coffee that we import from Colombia. Trump being a bully is going to be very costly.

Colombia and these other countries aren't gonna be paying for these tariffs so I don't know what kind of threat this is to Columbia. Tariffs, they're gonna hurt the American people and nobody else!

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

All this means is that USA consumers pay more for whatever Colombia exports and what consumers will need ( supermarket food produce for example) ?? It does not help US farmers who cannot deliver to super markets their field produce because Trump is deporting workers who go into the fields whom primarily collect it !!!\nTrump is basically taxing the US consumers and pushing prices up !! The US importer pays the tariffs (US customs tax at port of entry) whom then passes it onto the consumer !!\nThe consumer can of course not purchase the product which would hurt Colombia exports; the importers would have to hurriedly find another source whom would probably also increase their price because of demand.\nTrump is a loser and always will be; his businesses are mostly failures; even casinos !!
