American citizens are the ones that are going to pay for the tariffs

Columbian companies aren't going to pay for the tariffs. Americans are.

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

The Americans, the end users/consumers pay the tariffs imposed by Trump. The importer/exporters passes this additional cost/tax to end users/consumers. The government earns this tariffs...as simple as that.

Explain it to them through THEIR lens. Thats what they care about. Here is an example: feel free to use it:\nYou buy a GE company bulb that is made in China for $10.\nNow trump imposes a 25% tariff on imports from China. \n1. Who collects the Tariff: The US Govt.\n2. Who pays the extra 25%? GE. \n3. Is GE a philanthrophic/charity organization? No. So why will they bear the cost of the exta 25%?\n4. So what do they do? Now your bulb costs $12.5.\n5. Why? Because 25% of 10 is 2.5. So 10+2.5=12.5\n6. What does this increase in price mean? Inflation.\n7. Wont this encourage make in America? No, because you deported immigrants and now you have to pay american wages. Suddenly your bulb costs $20 because GE pays minimum wage to an American. So yeah, now everything is made in America but you are homeless paying more for everything.

How is it a tariff on Columbia its a tariff on the American people because it is they who will pay the tariff a tax on American people You still buy bananas and coffee and Columbian oil causing inflation and higjer prices on the American people?

Hey President Trump what abouth grocery , price of eggs etc, Now this ... US goods and services trade with Colombia totaled an estimated $53.5 billion X by the tarrif you will impose. Can you calculate the cost the American normal poeple will pay? Plus Canada plus Mexico ?

It's Americans who will pay the tariffs.

Americans are the most erigant idiots in this world. to think that you can just insult all countries and not pay a price for that is foolish, but then again look at who you elected, and the world will make you pay. the price of eggs is nothing compared to whats coming. Buckle up Morons.

This will soon be Americans smh stay safe out there and pay attention

Raise money from the tariffs?\nYou mean: Taxing the US consumer?\nNo one else will pay those tariffs the Americans, and no one will pick the fruits or work the meat plants at all...

I am totally agree USA border need to secure to stop illegal immigrants and I support America first agenda but I don't understand how tarrif gonna help American economy.Just Imagine when we put tarrif on trade that means US importer going to pay that or find alternative in short period of time this is going to increase inflation in USA.Once prices up it's very hard to bring it down we already seen in pandemic.We gone through pandemic inflation increase and then Ukraine war increase gas prices and inflation went up and now trade war with biggest trade partners this is going to be another economic damage and this is big one.

Why dont people understand that we are on the ass end of tariffs. The American consumer pays in the end.

So Americans have to pay the tax.

Columbia is not paying for those bullshit tariffs. Whatever companies ? buying their goods is so he can just say Americans are.

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

COLOMBIA WILL NOT PAY FOR THESE TARRIFS. ONLY AMERICANS WILL PAY FOR THESE TARRIFS.

Please tell this idiot the F’ing American people pay the tariffs!!!

The way trump is playing the tariff games will make Americans either to produce everything inside their own country or buy the same product for double amount ?\n\nN.B Most Americans don’t understand how tariff works, it’s always the consumer in the end who pays the tariff, in this case Americans.

At 2:45 the reporter says tariffs will raise revenues for the country. How’s that gonna happen when U.S. importers need to pay the tariffs and then pass on those costs to the American consumers?

This is the very reason BRICS is coming baby, weaponizing the dollar, embargos and sanctions, Trump is Just speeding up the process which is moving fast, its shows how stupid Americans are, becouse the U.S. pays the tariffs YOU, not the Colombia importer D..A.. right, criminals? there undocumented, ya real \ncriminals he's ripping you off, becouse the U.S. pays the tariffs

“”Criminals trump calls them!!! Maybee some but mothers with kids that are to poor to feed there children are deported criminals in trumps and his billionaire friends minds!!!!! Trumps way or highway forget what’s written in the American constitution!!!! It’s all clear sailing for trump his space crazed friend \nElon can pay off any judicial system judge trump needs!!!!! Make trump great again!!!!!!!\nThis is a no win tariff stand off for any country including the USA!!!! Prices will rise in every country!!!!!

No, my Americans just dont purchase anything from those corresponding countries stores that Refuse!!! Then Refuse right Back!!! It's your American right to do so or not to do so!! Help a brother out, will ya!\n\nUs should also hand each country a bill per person to pay back US taking care of them... that cost $$ freedom is expensive!!

Americans will be going on a forced diet , food /groceries prices about to skyrocket . Between the large % of field workers afraid of I.C.E. so not going to work ,produce is rotting , so shortages will be huge and then tariffs starting Feb 1st . Thanx MAGA for putting this dangerous buffoon and dictator wannabe in The Oval Office . Your chosen ignorance affects ALL Americans who now must pay the consequences of your hatred and stupidity . Stop chanting “ We won Libs, get over it .”

Grocerie tariffs will be paid for by American consumers just wait and pay

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

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.

They won't be the ones paying it, all in Americans will be paying it. You literally don't get any more stupid than Trump is.

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

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. ?

The international world is not going to be pushed around by Donald Trump. And the only person going to suffer is the American people. We're gonna pay for it.

TAKE YOUR PRISONERS BACK COLUMBIA. These Countries knew what Trump's plan, said they would take them back, then won't let the planes land. So yeah, tariff the sh*it out of them. I'll pay a little more (like I have been for four years) to get our Country back. Americans first!!!

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

Trump is gonna end up costing American's a lot more money if he keeps threatening tariffs, the tariffed company/country doesn't pay for the tariff's, the end consumer does!

American consumers pay the tariffs. The companies pay the import tax and then pass the cost to the consumer. Why do people try to manipulate and tell folks something different.

Bottom line is that American consumers will pay for this action. The smart thing would be to establish a protocol for these flights returning. The country receives notification with names, stats and photos. \nIts represent a diplomatic solution so both the United States and Columbia can process. Now the returned planes with those illegals land back here a nd we will house and feed them for months at tax payer expense!!!!! Plus now a conference of all Latin American will probably refuse any flights to a diplomatic solution occurs!!!! If extremes continue we could endanger our businessman conducting business in these countries!!! Stupid as stupid does!!!!! Plus in most cases the product with tariff is being produced with an American partner!!!! The banana production companies are american owned or have a large vested investment!!!! So there profits will fall and they are traded on the NYSE affecting investors here state side!!!! Rise the prices here on our imported fruit and coffee. !!!! Stupid. Stupidity

When did the readership of cnn get so frikking stupid. The US is the biggest consumer country in the world. Tariffs will only hurt Americans, all of your costs will go up. You pay tariffs, we don’t. For Columbia, your coffee, tropical fruit like bananas, flowers are going up. For Canada, your gas prices, housing costs. Mexico, fruits and vegetables….basically your inflation is going to sky rocket.

So Americans have to suffer and pay more when everything is already so expensive....great

This orange man is looking to make more enemies and make Americans pay the price.

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

These countries are so used to paying off DC to screw Americans over they think they have the upper hand

The American people watched as migrants were granted all sorts of free reign to move toward our border including resources paid by those countries governments to keep them moving. The American people will fully support the return of the now illegal migrants back to their home countries and not mind about economic consequences that these news networks they bring up when these illegal migrants have already taxed our system in which we pay taxes. This will only highlight how little those migrants own home countries truly don’t care about them.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

Hopefully are USA children can get jobs there parents can come out of the woods Americans need to not longer pay extortion money are cops collected 4 years pay checks and refused to arrest them don't defund the police DEPORT them with their pals

felon trump still don't understand tariffs, americans will pay more for goods, better quit drinking coffee

Trump makes Americans pay more for food to punish Columbia? Awesome.

Americans will pay 25% more for fruit than the possibility of being pushed on to a train track you morons!

LMAO Trump = total lunatic in charge of the United States that he will dismantle over the next four years or less. So glad I'm not an American and will never visit the worlds newest fascist state. Sorry folks, you voted for this very, very sick man and now you're about to pay the price.

Make it 100% the Americans will be glad to pay it.

Americans pay the tariffs.
