???Hey MAGA, your cost for a cup of coffee just went up! Trump just imposed a 25 percent “emergency” tariff on all Colombian imports, which will be raised to 50 percent in a week!

Before you deported anyone back to their origin, you need to negotiate seriously to benefic both side. You cannot flex your muscles and expect they bound-down to you without seeing that they will get some kind of benefits. The deportations may end up costing the U S billions if all the Central and South America Continent refuse to accept the deportees. All flights end up go back to the U S with full migrants on the planes.

what a stooge.... HOW MUCH DID THIS COST?????!

Quick, Americans should stock up on coffee from Colombia ($1.5 Billion); cut flowers, bulbs, live trees ($1.6 Billion); mineral fuels, oil, distillation products ($7.2 Billion); pearls, precious stones, metals, coins ($1.9 Billion); and another 100+ products that make up another $10 to $12 Billion of annual imports. So, 50% tariffs on the total imports with Columbia would mean American importers of these goods would pay an additional $10 Billion which...of course...adds to their 'landed cost of goods' and gets passed on to guess who? The end consumer.

Free Trade stops war. That was always the cost of global economics- shared prosperity for shared peace. Now, things are degrading back to conflict zones. This will get worse and more expensive for all with NOTHING to gain but what we are giving up in this moment.

TRUMP is a liability. Destroy America at all costs.

lol Americans are so uneducated and think the tariffs are going to help them reduce the cost of goods ??????

Imagine if Columbia removed all U.S. nationals and sent them back to the U.S. And if we lose immigrants, labor prices and product costs will go up.

Trump and the MAGA morons should look up the meaning of trade in a dictionary. There is a give and take, there’s buying and selling, that meets the needs of both parties. Trade tariffs is not how anyone with common sense wants to deal with any and every minute dispute like a senseless toddler. Both sides get hurt. Even the tariffs on Russia hurt other countries that imposed them too and that was a calculated move because the war calls for extreme measures.\nWhat the Trump sycophants that probably can’t read need to know is that Colombia accepted hundreds of these flights in the last few years. The only reason they pushed back now is on human indignity. This is the first they received a flight with their civilians cuffed up like animals. The Colombian president said that is not how you treat humans, at least not my people, send them back in a civilised way where they are not dehumanised and we’ll take them. He even sent his own planes later and took them back.\nA sane leader would order his team to review the process and advise them of appropriate measures going forward. An insane, thin skinned snowflake throws tantrums in their diapers and these Trump tariffs are precisely that. Sure, this will reduce the cost of living for the idiots that voted for him ??‍♂️

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.

Meanwhile, most people of Greenland, who are full Danish citizens and can travel freely to live/work anywhere within the EU Schengen Area, don’t want to become Americans by not allowing their country to become a U.S. territory. Perhaps a $100K offer by President Trump to each resident of Greenland will quickly change their mind as they only have a population of about 57,000 people which will cost the U.S. only $5.7 billion. This is what “The Art of the Deal” is all about.

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 ?

He’s insane. They agreed to let them come as long as they came on commercial flights or private plane. The only thing they didn’t like was that he sent them in a military plane which taxpayers shouldn’t like either cause it cost by far more to send them that way. This is all about Donald Trump’s ego. It’s just stupid. But it’s costing the taxpayers.

the cost is much much higher to refuel in the air.. ?

They should be paying for the cost to transport as well... plus interest.

Just remember folks, President Trump does not care about the American people. President Trump is more focused on Greenland and Canada instead of fixing the high cost of inflation. Shame on you President Trump. You ran on fixing the economy. Not trying to acquire Greenland and Canada. Shame on you, President Trump what a waste of a vote.

This means my 26 cent bananas are going to cost 32 cents. Not happy!!

The cost to use our military, quarter million, wasted, embarrassed Trump. How come no contact was made previously shows Trump had assumed he could force it. Sad. Presidents should be diplomatic, and talk to the other countries before sending them people. People, living people...

This man doesn't realize he is going to isolate and bankrupt America with all the s*it he is doing. Unless he wants to go nuclear in which case Earth would be uninhabitable for EV and everyone including the 1%, other countries WILL turn on America and the economic cost will be catastrophic.....then again, he's a genius at the art of bankruptcy....

I don't understand the point the Colombian president was trying to make. It doesn't matter what kind of planes are used to transport them, those people broke the law and their actions are costing American tax payers thousands of dollars. Why did it take tariffs for him to offer his own plane?

I thought terrifs were making costs go up? Weird how Colombian planes are now taking back their criminals. CNN has to be the densest group of elders. You're like a child walking into the middle of a movie...

The costs only get passed on to the US citizens.

How will the MAGA cult feel when their coffee costs go thru the roof!! Is this making America great???? What a dummy. He is only gaining the wrath of the world! Proud of this Colombian president for standing up to Trump just like he stood up for Gaza. Bless him and the Colombian people!❤️?

Once again trump making cost of living to go up by putting traffics ! Only one hurt in the end is us citizens that have to pay more now ! Too funny

It's not like inflated cost for weed is going to effect our economy

That js right. Why not make Colombia pay for the cost if the flights? Don't those illegals, criminals as they broke USA laws? Who cares about what plane they came home with?

Come on why you wanna make my coffee cost more you sob.

he so dumb..he acts without looking into anything..costing tax payers millions to use military for deportation...you wanted him now ull pay for it..tarriffs means tarriffs right back at you..america will suffer more than colombia w tarrifs

1:50 Half kilo Bustelo coffee cost $12:87 that means it gonna go up to $18.50 I'll pay it with out a problem. The trick, instead of buying 2 per year now I'll buy one. I'll do the 50% thing too. 2 can play that game????

How will everyday Americans react to the rising cost of Colombian imports due to Trump's tariffs? He's using us as pawns in his political game while hurting both U.S. consumers and Colombia.

Wrong! It doesn’t cost Americans more when a tariff is placed. It forces the incoming product manufacturer to lower its costs so people will still buy, and if people still buy, the percentage of tariff will fund the us government vs our income taxes. If they don’t lower their costs, they risk people not buying which hurts their business and hurts the country they are in because they don’t make as much money to send taxes to their country’s government

Oh shut up! It's costing us more to give them all of there free stuff then it is to send them app back. This is why CNN and all legacy media are irrelevant

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?

The cost per flight hour of the military C-17 cargo jet is about $25,000 per flight hour, while chartering a used 737 costs about $4,300 per flight hour.

They look like a bunch of wild animals they must be stopped at any cost. Come in the legal way or don't come at all.

Cost more. We'll by from a competing company. No problem

Rounding up and holding all these people is going to cost America billions.\nThese people also pay tax and they frequent small businesses putting money back into the economy.

Now, these countries will raise their prices to cover the cost of Trump's stupidity. American corporations will use this opportunity to price gouge, like they did with Covid. The costs to American consumers will double within the next year or two. Somehow, Trump will convince his idiotic cult of hatemongers that it is the fault of Democrats or immigrants, or anyone else who won't bow to him.

Finally a president who isn’t asleep at the wheel. We don’t care what it cost we’re not playing around anymore.

That’s what bullies do when they don’t get their own way. \nI guess the cost of groceries are off discussion. AH.

We told you. You didn’t listen. They’re wasting our military’s time and driving up OUR COST.

☕ ⬆ So now the price of a cup of coffee is going up by 25%; let’s see how that is going to be reconciled with bringing consumer costs down.

In other words American corporations have been given the green light to raise the cost of GOODS AND IT will effect YOU SO CALLED TRUMP VOTER POCKETS...HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT YOU IDIOT$

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!!

Good God my fellow Americans if you want to buy a TV a radio a telephone anything that's got foreign parts in you better do it now because they will cost five times as much by the time summer gets here cuz this stupid orange goblin is in charge now y'all wanted him I voted for her

Let Trump put on tariffs, it just costs Americans more

Tariffs don't affect what Colombia pays, it affects what _we_ pay. So he's doing these things to cost the people money, not another country. Tariffs cost us!! Still waiting for eggs, groceries, and home costs to go down...wasn't that supposed to be day 1? Oh, and peace in Ukraine. Glad this is all going so well...out wait...

So, how much do parachutes cost? Why land?

i did the math. one flight had 80 migrants. 25k per hour C17 fuel cost. roughly 600mph, 8 hour round trip. not counting personnel and maintenance. 400k round trip. 5k per migrant. WTF. Why would you not use commercial flights. How has the media not spotted this glaring expenditure? Insane.................... Not even talking about tariffs now.......... Cost to US citizens food. WTF.

I love listening to liberals whine. They're not happy that criminals are being deported they're upset their coffee may cost more.
