He's acting like this does anything. AMERICANS PAY THE TARIFFS!!!!

Who cares? He can raise it up to $1000. Americans will pay for that.\nWill Colombia get poor ?????\nFoghorn Leghorn can do whatever pleases him.\n??

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??

RETURN TO SENDER, \nBUT SENDER REFUSED?\nNo wonder Trump is right to get em out!\nImagine Columbia paying to return Americans it denied entry, only to have USA refuse to them to come home! \nTrump is right that many countries are taking advantage of America!

To be posted on all kinds of media:\n\nTrump's increase in the national debt will force Americans to pay taxes to China!

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

Yes and we are Winning as Americans. Trump listens to the legal Citizens. Those of you that wish to be a Citizen of America you need to follow the process. Follow the process or pay the price. How Dumb do you have to be?

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

So he's making AMERICANS pay higher taxes!?

Is there a single Trumper that understands how tariffs actually work? Americans pay the tariff, Colombians won’t much care.

Columbia doesn't pay the tariffs, the importers do and they will pass on the tariff amount plus administration fees to the American consumer in the end.. that includes the red hat cult members .

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

It’s insane tha he still doesn’t realise that he’s just making Americans pay more for stuff.

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.

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

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.

Lol ok if Americans want to pay more for coffee then that's their problem

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.

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

this Cretin really doesnt understand how tarriffs work, the only people paying for his tarriffs will be American citizens.

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!

Cocaine prices are going up and its Americans who are going to have to pay more!!

So he is retaliating on the Americans. Is anyone going to pay Starbucks rates that will go up 50 percent. Dumdass dumb Donald Trump

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

Americans voted for the clown now you pay more.

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.

Down to Americans whether they pay the tariffs. But considering Columbias main export is crude oil which America refines and sells back you gotta think that it’s the US refiners that will feel the hit

Americans will pay more for products. That will show them. ?‍?

All that means is Americans are going to pay higher prices for Columbia exports.

Trump is not punishing Columbia, he is punishing the American people. We are the ones who pay for the costs of tariffs on products imported.

He just can’t wait!!! I bet he gets up every morning and thinks about terrible things to do to others. Has he done one thing kind to help anyone yet? Or he payed attention to helping Americans thrive and get by?!!!

I would appreciate and encourage the media to call it an import tax which the Americans will ultimately pay. I want to also add why weren't the logistics worked out before hand? It was a waste of tax payers money. There should be legislation worked out. Not by executive order which im seeing doesn't mean its law.

Trump says raise money? Bahahaha does he know how tarriffs work??? Ummm no. Americans pay more. They dont make Trump more money. Joke. Joke. Joke! Get ur head out ur a@@ north americans!

Americans will pay for the tariffs

So Americans have to pay the tariff to import Columbian oil?... Ok,so!\nAmericans must be thrilled to see their groceries cost more. \nWILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW TARIFFS WORK TO THIS MORON !!

American consumers pay the tariffs! ??????

The American citizens are GOING TO PAY THOSE 25% TARIFFS, SO IDIOTIC TRUMP SUPPOTERS/VOTERS GET YOUR MONEY READY!!!!!!!!!!!! \nYOU DID THIS TO THE REST OF US!!!!

Hahahah tariffs. Hell use those tariffs to steal it and send it to israhell. Meanwhile civilians will pay it with inflation. In reality, us govt is stealing from Americans ???

Wait, why do the American people have to pay more for products just because Trump doesn’t get his way.

Trump is making things worse and we the American people going to pay the price every one that voted for him are idiots

What does Americans get from Columbia we'll have to pay more for now?

So punish Americans who buy goods from Columbia by making us pay higher prices... Really makes sense.

Bananas help keep Americans healthy. And mostly older people who are having dentures made will pay far higher costs as most artificial teeth come from Columbia.

THE FOOLS CHEERING ON TRUMP DONT REALIZE, COFFEE WHICH MOST AMERICANS LIKE , COME FROM COLUMBIA , ITS ABOUT TO GET VERY EXPENSIVE , AMONG OTHER THINGS , ITS THE PEOPLE PAY NOT TRUMP

To punish all these countries, Mr.Dumb Dumb will make all Americans pay higher prices. Great.

Americans choked in unison on your words, 30%. Are you joking? I don’t think anyone in America who’s not a part of the one percent pays less than 50 or 60% of their income towards housing. That’s the best case scenario most people are paying closer to 70 to 80%.

Don't forget free medical, then who payes for it. American Citizens with there taxes.

I would rather tax dollars be going to whatever South American government to have a incentive to keep them there than them coming here. We already paying Ukraine, this gotta stop.

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants
