I encourage other countries to do the same. The United States cannot afford to put tariffs on every country. It will piss of even MAGA if everything costs too much.

SWEEPING TARIFFS......F*** YAH!

According to the law, the POTUS is allowed to raise tariffs up to 15% for six months. After which, Congress has to vote to extend the tariffs.

We're not going to blame the Colombian government when all these Tariffs destroy our economy. Donald Trump and the Republicans will take all the blame. Hopefully, we will be tired with all the chaos by the midterms and vote accordingly!!!

The Flabby Orange Pink and Blonde TURD is ANGRY! Uh-oh, he's reaching for his Tariff Sharpie!!!!!

So Columbia and the world should start deporting US passport holders and US citizens back to the US from their respective countries and decline Visas for Americans seeking to travel or work outside the US. The world can play that game as well. Plus imposing tariffs on US goods and services.

But.... did the price of eggs and gas go down?\nAll those who voted for this, get ready to pay more for food\nI had to school someone about Tariffs today ? \n\nTrump’s tariffs could tank the economy...\nThough Trump inherits a strong economy and low inflation, he’s proposed a 10 to 20 or even more \n tariff on all imports, and a 60 percent tariff on all imports from China. The Budget Lab at Yale estimates that this policy alone could raise consumer prices by as much as 5.1 percent and could diminish US economic growth by up to 1.4 percent. An analysis by the think tank Peterson Institute for International Economics, finds that Trump’s tariffs, when combined with some of his other proposals such as mass deportation, would lead to inflation rising between 6 and 9.3 percent.

Well done! Refuse to take your own Colombian Citizens back, then accept the Tariffs.\nColombia, you better take care of your own people.

Brilliant plan! Does anyone realize that all these tariffs will not affect the countries that he’s placing the tariffs on. US businesses pay for these tariffs then they pass on the cost of the tariffs to us the US citizens. Can’t wait to see how this is gonna go over.

In 2024, the US provided $444 million in foreign aid to Colombia. $0.00 in 2025. 1000% tariff. Next should be embargo.

Will the cartels and drug users pay the 25% tariffs? ? that would be lucrative……….

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

Does Donnie Jr have to pay a tariff on his coke?

I can't get eggs and now coffee, TAXING TRUMP TARIFFS

What Tariffs China Is building a new Port in Perú that will damage all your plans dude Perú have better fruits than Colombia AND better cocaine aswell

These stupid tariffs will kill us as consumer here in the US. Soon the price of bananas will be $200 a lbs.

You guys don’t understand how tariffs work….\n\nEdit: damn you guys are still going…. \nI commented without wanting any people to comment. But appreciate that people that are cordial and nice. ?? \nRealized what a waste of time it is.

Trump is full of BS. Why didn't he put tariffs on Mexico. They also refused to allow those flights to land in Mexico. He is picking on a country where trade is not really significant.

As President-elect Trump weighs up the tariffs he has promised to impose, it is important to understand who will pay them. \n \nThere is a popular misconception that when a country imposes tariffs on imported goods, it is punishing a foreign government or foreign firms. This is not a mistake made by economists. The tariff is paid at point of entry, and much of it goes to the government that imposed it. It is paid by the importer, a probable wholesaler, who passes it on in the form of higher prices for his or her customers.

Good! These countries should be mandated to take back their own citizens! Cancel all their visas slap tariffs and sanctions

In another week, there will be tariffs on Mars, Pluto and Saturn.

Colombia, strike back with tariffs.

tariffs only hurt taxpayers. we carry the burden. he can raise prices on imports Columbia will just raise the orices of the products its importing to cancel out trunps tariffs. guess who is left with the expense? we are

There you go tariffs work. Mexico listened to Trump. Bumbling biden would of had them land in satellite cities

Who would want to live in the United States anyway. \nThey can’t even manage their own Finances and have to rely on using coercion in the form of Global Tariffs to pay off the debt which they have accumulated not other countries.

Trump asked that we seal our borders and do something about fentanyl. How did Canadian politicians respond! Like chickens with their heads cut off, throwing around our idea of tariffs. Trump was clear. I have no idea why they had to take it to this level in Canada.

Because of the Tariff ..Canada is actually knew the Problem and now it is clear they are part of the Problem..we love Trump

Fix the border = No tariffs.

It isn't about the border at all it's just an excuse to use tariffs.

Let's not fuss about tariffs yet. Trump keeps postponing them, and by the time he gets around to them he'll have massive legal and political disasters on his hands. The lawsuits are piling up.

on week 2 of the tariffs Mexico will magically support the US

Tariff the Americans until this invasion stops!! The next thing you know they will be eating all of our cats and dogs!! ?

Canada won't have tariffs either if they stop all the illegals.

Now what , tariff on USA?

?? Build your WALL or pay the tariffs think ?????

You could show a 100 stories like this a day and Trump would still put tariffs on Canada, it was NEVER about the boarder.....

Secure your border USA. Or will tariff you

Ship em back, and send Trump the bill for the Canadian resources wasted, plus a 25% Tariff...

Looks like we need to put tariffs on USA to solve this problem.

Looks like it took Canada the Tariff threat from the US to clamp down on this otherwise every one from all over kept pouring in here and then moving to the US

Put 50% tariff on Trump. Fix your side of the border, Trump.

Put tariffs on them now

Why wasn’t Canada already securing the border? What an embarrassment it took the threat of tariffs to do the right thing! Liberal idiots.

45 years ago I left Vancouver to go to Disneyland driving down the I-5 and I got stopped for speeding and I what's going as fast as most of the people on the highway I pulled over and the officer came to my window with his gun out pointed at me I'm thinking what the f*** how can this be I was speeding I never went back I do fly through what was the tariffs come in I'll fly over and never buy anything American again

The power of tariffs!!

How about Canada should use BOUNTY HUNTERS on the border area. \nNo more illegal crossing, guarantee, and the 25% tariff is gone

Cut America's power! Ontario is responsible for providing a huge part of American power..cut it off! The tariffs will take effect in less then 2 weeks, leave Americans in the dark and cold

It wasn't just about the border, but the border was important. He also wants canada to manage ports and drugs. Also canada needs to meet its 2% commitment to nato. \nThat's how we avoid tariffs

Not just immigration we will be putting tariffs on Europe and Canada, you wont freeloading off of u.s taxpayers anymore…

Maybe Mexico should tariff the cartels that encouraged this massive human smuggling effort to pay for the human condition.
