MAGA cocaine users are OK, as illegal drugs are not subject to Trump's tariffs.

Just so everyone knows. Colombia doesn't pay the tariff. We do. Look into it. Just force Colombia to take them since they are their citizen. We don't need to have coffee go up another 25%!

Great! American cost of living will soar. The tariffs are a great opportunity for these countries to develop their own industries and reduce dependence on American consumers

Temper Tariffs ?

Americans will now get to know what tariffs will mean to them

How about him charging 25 percent tariff against Greenland.

All the energy that is going to deporting people. Hopefully someone will do the cost-benefit. Seems like a major waste of time. Imagine if the Border Bill had been passed in 2024 and by now we could have had this all under organized control without all of this spending so much money, time and effort in rounding people up and deporting them. Add to all of that the cost of tariffs that Trump is putting on Columbia and I expect others in the coming weeks and months. What a waste. Trump also not getting this whole thing organized which is the major direction we have to go in the final analysis.

We're going to pay for the tariffs , not Colombia

Did Trump attempt any form of dialogue, or has he skipped straight to tariffs. I can't help feeling that numerous diplomatic steps got missed there.

Here comes the start of tariffs to control another country to submit,me the boss

Trump... I fix everything, me Tariff all, yes good plan me smart... enemy... ally... me no care... fxck all who don't like god trump

Awww poor little baby didn’t get his way!!! Boo hoo hoo! The more tariffs he puts on other countries the more it costs you and I..I’ve already quit buying stuff that I feel supports the rich!!!

Why is he seriously thinking that Tariffs will somehow benefit the american People, not that i care all that much but Tariffs will have to be paid by Americans themselves

No country should allow the US deportation planes to land. It would really screw his plan. Soon he'll have tariffs on every country. Imagine how much things are going to cost.

Tariffs will affect US citizens more than Columbia

⚠️update NY Post : Colombian President Gustavo Petro quickly reversed course about accepting flights of deported migrants from the US after President Donald Trump threatened emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate.

Every country that Trump threatens or in fact imposes tariffs against should immediately respond in kind. HIGH TARIFFS AGAINST THE USA!! Make it hurt, make the morons who voted for Trump feel it most in their wallets!

tariffs must be his deadly weapon the man is gormless

The costs may not be that big if there is a tariff but it will hurt Colombian economy if US goes elsewhere

CNN viewers are so outraged over the tariffs on Colombia that's it's kinda funny. Like, don't you people realize that Colombia is not the only country that grows bananas and coffee? If you don't like the tariffs, then just buy from other countries besides Colombia.

Tariff, it's a very good word. It's the best word.

Tariff Columbia ❤❤❤

It's funny when they say he hit another country with tariffs when basically it doesn't actually affect that country.\nIt should read, Tronald Dump hits America with tariffs!

Sanctions yes tariffs no. We the people pay the price for tariffs

Colombia already caved and are offering their own planes now to help. Thank you CNN for highlighting the power of Trump, tariffs and American patriotism!!!

For fxcks sake, with all the educated people around him why won't they explain to him how tariffs work. It doesn't hurt him it hurts us. This is a joke. It's parody.

Hahahahah...we are paying for those tariffs.

In this case: raising revenue for the country = get Americans to pay tariff taxes

Is that his foreign policy, make enemies all around the world and use tariff, nice.

On what grounds? The rule of (tax) law requires Trump to follow certain rules to impose such tariffs. Trump can’t just impose tariffs.

He doesn’t care to pay for Tariffs he’s already a millionaire

Countries should tariff American goods

So who is paying for the tariffs.\nWe the people who voted them and are the ones who are going to pay for the tariffs. This is a bad idea. The country is gonna go downhill immediately.

Trump is so dumb. The countries don’t care about his stupid tariffs as it will only hurt us Americans. Tariffs get passed on to us and not the country being tariffed ?

Lol just tariff the whole world at this point Donald Musk

HOW STUPID ARE YOU MORONS!!? He’S THE Business MASTER!!! HES GETTING IT DONE AND TARIFFS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT!!!!!

Looks like he will put 25% tariffs on every country in the world.

HOW STUPID ARE YOU MORONS!!? He’S THE Business MASTER!!! HES GETTING IT DONE AND TARIFFS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT!!!!!

Trump is the kind of guy who learned one lesson from school - I think the day his brain worked at school, the teacher was talking about tariffs - he thinks tariffs are the antidote of all problems. The US drinks a lot of coffee, so that means now your Starbucks is double the prices and your people will pay it.

COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT ..YOU WANT US TO DRINK YOUR COFFEE BUT YOU DONT WANT YOUR OWN CITIZENS BACK WHO ILLEGALY CAME TO AMERICA..HYPOCRITE ..TRUMP GOOOOO..TARIFFS

This is what Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool. 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. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate. That's the difference between a President with business experience, as opposed to a President who is a lawyer and a lifelong politician.

Trump: You get a tariff, you get a tariff, everybody gets a tariff!!!!

They rejected Trump’s deportation method for several reasons most important of which are undesirable individuals and smart spies. Countries usually do that.\nFor the Tariffs, we the consumers and producers will pay the tariffs not Columbia. That is, the Colombians bag Trump and Trump sticks it to Americans. What type of jock is this.

trump is too stupid on how Tariffs work, he isn't thinking about the best interest of America ,he just has when people stand up against him , hold tight to your money and spend on necessities ,forget about luxury items for a while

Wake-up tariffs will hurt Americans.

When you put a 25% tariff on your sons cocaine addiction...?

Tariffs cost Americans dummy!

Once again, he has no clue how tariffs work. Let the bumpy ride begin. As an earlier poster commented, cocaine and coffee are going to skyrocket.

I wish President Trump would learn how tariffs actually work.

PUT TARIFFS ON THE COCAINE LOL
