❤????????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 ? ?

I guess cocaine is going up 25% as well ???

We import 73% of the oil we use from Canada, Mexico and Columbia. A 25% tariff on those imports will affect the price of gasoline.

Coffee, cocoa, esmeralds, brown sugar, fruits, vegetables, electrical equipment, plastic and more.. there you go Americans go thank your God Trump for making your life great again. \n\nAlso have a great Valentine’s Day celebration with the flowers and roses coming from my country. 25%

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

I sure hope you all enjoy 25%+ higher grocery prices. thanks Donald.

25% tax on everything.....record price hikes on eggs are just the beginning.

It took less than 3 hours. Columbia just gave in. 25-50% tariff from your number one buyer? No thank you. \n Its been 6 days. Trump has done more in 6 days on immigration than Biden did in 4 years. Think about that. \n The adults are back in charge.

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??

Trump should raise %25 on petroleum product so that the US citizen are paying for it

For these slow people, let me explain how this works: tariffs work as a tax on poor people. First time in the White House, Trump put a 25% tariff on China goods. Dollar Tree, which imports from china usually to sell everything for a dollar had to pay 25 cents on a dollar in taxes to collect the goods from the ports. So it passed that tax to the prices. So went from everything $1 to everything $1.25. a 25% percent inflation. Then China stopped buying soybeans from USA. Farmers went broke and Trump have to give them 29 billion in handouts so they won’t go broke. Genius?

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!!!!

I wonder if this means Don Junior is going to be paying 25% more for blow

Well guys, starting today if you want to “Dance a Colombian Cumbia”…it’s going to be 25% more expensive.?

I rarely LOL but hearing about an immediate 25% tariff on goods today and 50% next week actually did it. Talk about losing popularity… wait until everyone has to pay 25-50% more for their coffee. Cocaine will be spared because I’m pretty sure cartels aren’t paying duties and tariffs on their imports.

This is going to be fun: ~25% of crops may be lost due to migrants staying home instead of risking getting caught in the fields, another chunk of crops in California may be lost to contamination by the giant battery fire from two weeks ago, and Felon Trump is slapping tariffs on a bunch of countries the USA will need to offset that food production deficit.

LMFAO. Your coffee Monday morning just became 25% more expensive. Maybe 50% more in a week. Or no coffee at all.

Way to go Donald, now US consumers will have to pay at least an extra 25% for their daily cocaine. What a chump!!

looks like Trumps nose candy is going up 25%

Prices will rise here,as we the consumer will pay for yhat 25%

Coke just went up by 25%.

25% druge taruffes lol

Just so everyone knows. Colombia doesn't pay the tariff. We do. Look into it. Just force Colombia to take them since they are their citizen. We don't need to have coffee go up another 25%!

How about him charging 25 percent tariff against Greenland.

More are yet to come, that's what the world should expect from a convicted Head of state. 25% tax on food and fruits will immensely affect Americans who voted Trump, not Colombians.

How does this lower the price of groceries? How does levying a 25 percent value added tax on Americans for buying produce and coffee grown in Columbia lower food prices?

Where our beef mainly comes from .. let's make our allies mad and make our prices for beef up by 25%

Coffee just went up to 25 bucks a cup

Guess the other southern countries will do the same? Will the cost of cocaine also go up by 25%?

Looks like he will put 25% tariffs on every country in the world.

Just the beginning, another 25% if they do it again !

25% good lord this man is insane

When you put a 25% tariff on your sons cocaine addiction...?

25% - 50% Colombina retaliation Tariffs is little peanuts.\nOur 25% Tariffs will have them pay millions in days and a billion in just a month. How can their economy survive this. They better listen this wildness or they'll collapse their own in economy in half a year or a year if they manage it carefully

He's insane if he thinks he can just randomly put 25% tariffs on countries. It will lead to mass worldwide boycotts of US products.

Hunter Biden and his ilk are peeved that coke just went up by 25%!

it does mean you'll (you, US consumer) pay 25% more when you'll import products from Colombia

If there is a 25% tariff on Colombian imports it will really hurt Don Jr.

One thing to note is if there are high tarrifs on one country..as a business person I would choose the second lowest country to get the same product(if the product is rare and unique to that country obviously gov will exclude that from tarrifs)...why would I pay 25% extra...\n\nSince US has money many countries are willing to do business...So it's finally a loss to Colombia or any other country.

? you were warned. The government is going to add 25% tax on your cocaine.

So my coffee is going to cost 25% more? Worth it. Every penny.

Hahaha I told you that wouldn't work what a Clown show ? ? And the only person that is going to feel all of this is the small businesses . What a clown ? And we got what it's something about before they start thinking about using 25 amendment on him. Clown show.

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .

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!!!!

Someone please makes sense of this for me. I'm placing a tariff on Columbian goods because i couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone and work with my allies? I'm raising prices by 25% on OIL, COFFEE and PETROL which will raise prices for the very voters i promised on day 1 to lower their living costs.\nSomeone please make sense of these opposing contradictions please. Does anyone actually believe he's so stupid as to still not fully grasp and comprehend that a tariff is a DOMESTIC direct consumer tax and the exporting country doesn't pay a copper penny to the US treasury? \nTrump's policies are to remove cheap labour from the country, while raising prices on every product coming into the USA . This is the moronic insanity MAGA voted for and millions of Dems stayed at home to not vote against. What a monumental mess in a week. Encore.

US can absorb 25%- 50% retaliation Tariffs but How Colombia absorb 25%- 25% Tariffs?\nEconomically speaking they will collapse.\n\nUS has leverage in buying those goods in Vietnam or the Pacific or Argentina

I live on Long Island I already paid too much money for cocaine if you think I'm going to pay $25 more for cocaine I'm just going to snort Molly from Amsterdam now
