So, how much do parachutes cost? Why land?

No country is going to negotiate with him!!! What an idiot!!! He is hurting Americans ?. So where are they going to do with all the people they're trying to deport if Mexico and Columbia are not allowing them to land???

The only criminal here is orange Vulgar guy, we need to expell orange Vulgar thing to STUPID -LAND?

It sure seems like this report is far more concerned about Colombia‘s autonomy and their ability to refuse an American military plane to land then they are with the United States’ ability to refuse illegal immigrants

He expects all these countries to allow our military planes full of people to land wherever he wants. He’s delusional.

While I am all for deportation, why would you send a flight out without getting the destination country's approval for landing? How is that a thing, actually? It's like booking a reservation for say Australia without having an idea if there is a flight available :D

Not allowed to land... give them a parachute! They get a free skydiving experience and we get them back where they came from.

Can understand why they did not want the planes to land because there a mix bunch in there. They may not all be Colombian. Does he expect the drop off points to sort it out on behalf of the US.

From “Land of the Free”, to “Land of the Fee” …. ?

? don't ship them in army planes. No military of any kind can land there. How difficult is that?

THE NEWS OF THE DAY: Colombia gets punished with a 25% tariff & other sanctions for standing up to xenophobic bullying by denying the right to land of 2 military flights carrying immigrants caught up in mass deportations.-Colombia relatiates with its own 25%.

I am pretty sure that most countries that the US sends immigrant planes to will deny landing privileges. Mexico won't allow them to land there either.

So what if landing plane is not authorized ……\n\nUse parachutes

This is poor reporting. They didn't show Colombia's reasons and statements as to why they didn't allow the US military planes to land. Tell both sides of the story.

America stands as the last empire on Earth, remaining the only one that dominates every corner of the globe and can reach any land or sea with remarkable speed. Most Americans are hardworking individuals living paycheck to paycheck, and about 80% lack a passport because they cannot afford to travel abroad. These individuals are loving, caring, and humble. America is already great enough, yet everyday folks never truly experience that greatness. Why does Mr. Trump strive to make America even greater? Because the American ruling elites suffer from a brain virus known as «hubris»!

No country should allow U.S. planes to land. Thank you, Columbia.

They won't let the Tariffs land either!!! The carnage...

You are late cnn Columbia has now cli bed down Trump wins again. Planes can land

Who plans a plane flight without confirming there’s somewhere to land at the end of it? Amateurs everywhere.

seriously would the U.S. just allow any planes coming in land at our airports...........NO

WE CANT LAND THEIR BUT 20MILLION CAN COME HERE ILLEGALLY WITH NO WARNING AND DEMAND FAIR TREATMENT? DO YOU SEE THE HYPOCRITICAL NATURE OF LATIN AMERICA? WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER.

If they're not allowed to land, the illegal immigrants can depart the plane mid-flight. By the way, if anybody from those countries is listening you need to fix your government one way or another.

Not allowed to land in Mexico either. \nImpeach Trump!! Some of the Felons Felon Trump pardoned already have been arrested AGAIN

❤????????hell yes ?! Folgers and Colombian coffee gonna be very expensive. Coming back to North America.! ?? lol, and oh no , no cocaine for junior ! Trump juniors? cocaine head!! lol ? tap that 25% on that tariffs of shit ? ! That’s right keep sending back those planes to the USA ?? Lol ? you ain’t landing here, buddy lol ? ?

Migrants tou have a right to stay in America on the stolen land the American people stole from natives.

Oh so the columbian president doesn’t want them back? ? humm wonder why? Then… after not allowing the planes to land in Columbia he sends a plane to come and get them! …. Hummm… that is so wise… ?

If they don't let you land, open the door and boot them out over their country !❤

Luckily for the migrants, the 82nd Airborne isn’t the ones flying them back. They wouldn’t have to land!!

Putin is building a military base in Venezuela. Of course, they don't want the American military landing in Venezuela.

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

LOL…. If you don’t let my planes full of your citizens land I’m going to tax MY citizens….. oh no…..

So, where did the plane go to land? They had to be low on fuel. Is that plane The Flying Dutchman, just circling the planet forever?

They better let them planes land because Trump not playing. Take your people back! I will go out and stock up on coffee today??

Go home and make ur land great

You can't just take off in a plane and expect to land wherever you want.

wtf! So they didn’t have an actual plan to deport these people. They thought they could just land big military planes and drop them off ?

Why do they have to land ?

Where did they and up landing

If they wont let them land, we got parachutes

Stop selling land to the rich in porto Rico,and growing crops,make jobs cause all we got is corn for fuel ,make pr great again we need nothing from other countries,we got tropical land to ,ftw

All other countries should do what Colombia Government have done, blocking US deportation flights from landing or refuelling in their countries.

So we sent two military planes to a foreign country , apparently unannounced, demanding to land and get rejected. Who'd of thought?

I thought Mexico had also banned the landing of deportation flights in Mexico.

Columbia's (and Mexico's) president objects to US military planes with immigrants landing in their country without any warning or permission. He said, get on the phone and set-up protocols (like a responsible adult). The US would not allow another country to land their military planes (or even be in our airspace) in our country without protocols in place.

CAN NOT land in military aircraft! Okay, to land in airline aircrafts! And Mexico IS NOT allowing Military aircraft planes to land in Mexico either! CNN is not accurately reporting this information!

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.

Is that the Cargo plane that wasn’t allowed to land on the first destination/ fuel stop in Mexico or another plane?

Tariffs are used for negotiations, to try to get a better deal. The Pres. of Columbia will let the planes land. He can't defy America.

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

So Mexico is saying that we do not HAVE TO land to DROP these Illegals OFF? OK! Free parachutes for everybody.
