One reason why I didn't vote for this man he ?is closings all doors to all Americans passport holders ,now Colombia doors may be closed.The American Passport will be very weaker now, I wouldn't be able to travel any where The United States ?? is turning like North Korea because of President Trump .Not good I am screwed

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

its funny that americans think that 25% tax is going to be paid by the exporting country hahaha..25% more tax when you buy those goods..your president is ripping you off ahaha

Trump's ego is uncontrollably. He made no effort to work with Columbia at all. Not only has Columbia retaliated but more importantly trump has been seen trying to push a South American nation around instead of working any diplomacy. Not a good visual donald.

I would love for all the American Agriculture Conservatives to write thank you notes when they are paying $30 a tub for their ground coffee and having to homeschool their kids because their states can’t fund schools without government assistance through the Department of Education. ❤ Good job “christians”!

Good thing Americans don't like coffee

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.

Good. American can reshore the coffee industry and be the coffee power house again, right????

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

Best for Columbia's president to do the right thing & accept them back now. If not all Americans will view him as dumping his nation's trash at our doorstep, which weakened our national security & had done imessurable damage, upon which I'm certain President Trump will take swift action against him as an example to the other nation's leadership, and you don't wanna be THAT GUY! They cross Trump at their own peril, but the guy's a wizard at destroying people, places, or things, even your ideas if it pleasures him. Both parties are have rediculously long memories & do hold grudges. Case in point, Cuba. They never will allow Cuba to be anything other that a floating rock prison. Please do the right thing & take YOUR people back. We're at least giving him the bennifit of knowing who they are, and what they are BEFORE they can hurt your nation & act accordingly & it'll all be good. You need a little help, just reach out & let us know. We're here to work with you, not against you.

Good bye forever American dream. Hello from Samarkand to Uzbek illegal migrants in America

Columbia will be broke within a month if they don’t reverse course! America has a GDP of $98 trillion. Whereas Colombia has a GDP of 365 billion. We can always get coffee and cocaine from other countries.! but how will Columbia replace American goods and aid? good luck getting that from China.! ?

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 ?

Good get them the hell out and start housing the dreamers who are American citizens living in tents all over the damn country. More of a nightmare for them.

Americans can live without Colombian bananas and other tropical fruits if they are the only goods exported to the US. There's Ecuador and Costa Rica for cheap bananas and tropical fruits from elsewhere.

Good because 85%of the American people are behind Trump?!!!

Us Americans always think were untouchable! such arrogance is dangerous, we need the world more than the world needs us, were only 4.22% of the worlds population and only 6% of the wrolds land mass, BRICS is only getting stronger and is going away from the Dollar, do your research people, what good is producing products if the rest of the world doesn't want to buy them... lets treat humans as humans not like animals lets show some respect!

This guy is so stupid! Good luck Americans, sorry to people who didn’t vote for this.

Haha ..poor Trump..what happens when Americans cannot afford day to day goods...(They struggling now itself)

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.

This started Friday in Brazil ?? when the interior minister with police and media boarded a US plane refueling in a Brazilian city carrying returning Brazilian migrants. The police acted surprised when they discovered the migrants were all handcuffed and leg ironed. They were removed, fed, showered and returned home by Brazil.\nThis was big news throughout the Latin countries.\nThe Colombian President would not accept his civilians being treating as criminals. Colombia ?? sent a plane to pick up their citizens without the mechanical restraints.\nColombia has now imposed a 50% tariff on all American products and seeking other countries to partner with, in effect shutting out the US. This is gonna be so good for china’s ?? economy

Europe should join South America and Canada and give the orange clown an ultimatum; stop his nonsense threatening or get a 50% tariff on all American goods.

So one of Trump's retaliatory responses is to punish any American company buying Columbian goods or parts. It will cause them to purchase those goods or parts elsewhere but where? Will Trump tariff them next? \nNothing like uncertainty of supply to keep American businesses running efficiently and on their toes.

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$

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

Hopefully ALL latino-nations takes this respons to these socalled deportation-flights .... that'll be fun ... and also that they will hike a 50% tariff on ALL AMERICAN GOODS .... Double fun..

Columbia just imposed 50% tariffs on American goods

Good! Americans don't want that criminal trash

good luck with this Goomba Americans, you need luck more than ever.

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.

5:39 good go back to Honduras. You are not American you want to use what the white man created to just shit on them. Good riddance

inbound tariffs dont hurt the countries material is coming from but it hurts the receiving country,s like us. basically he just added another commodity and goods tax to american business. Columbia is probably laughing at this. what material that is directly shipped from them is probably illegally smuggle past customs anyway tariffs would have no effect

Thank goodness he told y’all he wasn’t gonna play this time!!! he is doing the American people’s will

The only thing these tariffs do is punish Americans. Good job Don ???.

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.

Good enough of this BS the Democrats caused this freakin problem now the American people have to deal with it .

?sounds good. If americans try to go to any other country illegally, what happens to them??? go home if you are not legal.

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

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!!!

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

My goodness I hope that the president of the united state of America thinks his next big idea better then something like other countries just denying the Americans to land in there countries!!!!

Good on them. Everyone should do it.\nShut the Americans out.\nLet them learn how much they depend on the rest of the world.

I think you mean, Trump hits American companies who import goods from Columbia with tariffs so they can pass those costs down to American consumers. REPORT THE NEWS CORRECTLY or don't report it at all, ffs. Smh

What these other countries forgot, along with alot of Americans, we dont need their goods..we have everything we need to do it here..fuck your bananas and coffee..

So the orange idiot has taxed the American people on Columbian products... Good job moron now things will cost us more money to buy.

I don't like Trump at all, think he rallies people who are racist towards south and central americans, but also I think a good country never denies a plane full of it's citizens

They don't consume American goods and i don't do drugs Go Trump go !
