? u guys haven't changed. F Colombia and anything from Columbia Americans don't need or want their products! CONSUMERS DON'T CARE! and they don't have a monopoly on bananas lol. America is back and we don't want these socialist communist countries products. And that goes for China. They don't have a monopoly to tell us what they will n won't do! We tell them what we'll accept. Don't like it? Too bad SO SAD! Get a clue CNN

You know what's funny is, when Biden was in office, the economy was getting better, gas prices were finally going down and unemployment was at its all time lowest in US history. Now Trump is gonna get rid of all these immigrants that do the hard dirty work like, picking fruit, avocados and chile and roofing and construction So now watch I bet you anything businesses will go out of business and the economy will get bad again. I hope im wrong

While I am all for deportation, why would you send a flight out without getting the destination country's approval for landing? How is that a thing, actually? It's like booking a reservation for say Australia without having an idea if there is a flight available :D

Colombia did not accept because they were on military planes. If they would have been treated with respect and like human beings and arrive on commercial jets, they would have accepted. The same with Mexico. We would not like military jets or planes from other countries coming to our country. They are lucky they were not shot down. For all you MAGA people, there are thousands of jobs for you in the farming industry. We need our tomatoes, and oranges picked. Get to work MAGA and pick those crops.

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!!!

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.

It's amusing that your site has zero videos of Donald Trump absolutely schooling Karen Bass during that live TV Friday night. Not a single clip from CNN either! And yet, you report this without mentioning that the Colombian president has already Folded like a lawn chair. Plus, you conveniently skip over his attempt to retaliate against Trump with tariffs. Spoiler alert: we’ll just get our coffee from Brazil, which is way better anyway! president petro is not winning any popularity contests in Colombia, and sacrificing his country's economy for the sake of the optics involving violent criminals being airlifted is just plain reckless. That's downright crazy.!

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

Columbia, like most of South America, is about to build a lot stronger ties with China, where they will get cheap goods, renewable energy infrastructure, and affordable EVs.

Imagine that, all these tinpot dictators are folding like cheap suits. It will destroy the Colombian economy. The dictator WILL get the problem fixed.

WE PAY THE TARIFFS at the boarder, and by the time it gets to the customer, that’s $1000 tv will be $2000 ??‍♀️ like it took me no time to learn about how they work

Sounds like Trump's border policy is working quite well!!! They are going back before they even get here.. That's what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOO TRUMP!!! you are the F88king man!!

Colombia was always gonna bring its people home, but they made sure to do it the right way. Instead of using military planes for deportations like they were criminals, President Petro's government sent a regular plane. That way, the folks coming back were treated with respect and dignity. Don't get fooled by the BS out there there's a lot of misinformation trying to twist the story

How can our country let him get away with this Bull $###? We have never had a president to do anything like this. I can’t believe he is president!

Hey cnn! Hows about finding out why trump turned on his buddy putin? Could ut be that after putin helped put him back in office like all those maga folks trump is doing the same.to all the maga's and bending thrm over with out lube! Just like trumps doing eith all of us! And news outfits like you and abc, nbc and the rest dose! Like gun violince! Aka school shootimg quit giving these sick folks thier 15 minutes of fame! Dont say the names and i bet they well quit vause they wont get the rushbfrom becoming famous! Hmmm!

Trumps tantrums are so funny. Like a spilled child. Oh wait....... maybe he just needs a diaper change. Get on it Vance.....

Columbia won’t mess with us where everything to them if it wasn’t for us they’d still be running around in grass skirts just like China was before we came in and helped them look. We’re a superpower. These people shut up and do what we say or else we’ll take everything they have away from them just like we did the Indians.. make no mistake this president is not playing games. He’s come back with 50 Cent attitude and he’s gonna be petty? everybody that tried to take him out is gonna get it?? go Trump

Columbia needs us more than we need them. I like Ethiopian coffee better anyway. We can get bananas from asia or costa rica. They can keep their apist we have enough.

So now Anything we get from Colombia will be expensive, so Americans likely won’t buy it. If they do, the U.S. government collects the extra tariff money from the product??

It’s like Oprah, “you get a tariff, you get a tariff and you get a tariff.”

Looks like Bricks getting a new member. Even Cuba n Mexico joining them. Sanctions are useless. Like they all had a script n were waiting for a orange make in a drag wig make up n diaper perfect moron, to be put in power to dump dollar n jump ship.

It's amazing how much information they got wrong or make up as they go in this video. (Aircraft are going to be refueling in the air... yeah sure they are!) It's also amazing the amount of whining its created. Folks, perhaps you'd like to house some illegals at your house until you come up with a good solution? \nA real leader is in office. Take notes. You'll likely be learning a lot about how things get done.

Trump sure does like the limelight. Former leaders get the job done without the need to draw attention to themselves. 4:37 - last year Biden averaged more than 5000 deportations per week. Last week T deported 2600.

Get ready for inflation that will make the last three years look like a warm up. If Trump taxes Canada and Mexico you will see $10 gas just for starters.

This is just the beginning.\nIf i would be a nation in South America, i would try to get together, maybe a Union like the EU ... also btw depending on how high those terrifs might become, maybe here in the EU might be alternativ buyers ^^.

Americans gonna get taxed like no tomorrow.

If Colombia is so concerned about the treatment of their countrymen why deny their return? They have to remain cuffed and treated like criminals which they are for breaking the law. Why not accept your people and help them get re-established? They just don't want their people back, be honest.

All the energy that is going to deporting people. Hopefully someone will do the cost-benefit. Seems like a major waste of time. Imagine if the Border Bill had been passed in 2024 and by now we could have had this all under organized control without all of this spending so much money, time and effort in rounding people up and deporting them. Add to all of that the cost of tariffs that Trump is putting on Columbia and I expect others in the coming weeks and months. What a waste. Trump also not getting this whole thing organized which is the major direction we have to go in the final analysis.

People in these comments are on some serious copium. Y’all actin like coffee prices are gonna be a big problem because you have nothing negative to say about what Trump did. Like y’all give a shit when you go to Starbucks and spend $8 on a coffee already, or is it more? This hurts then more than it would hurt us btw, that’s why they folded so easily. Trump knew they would fold easily. Btw we can get coffee somewhere else if you truly need coffee to love you can probably drink espresso too. I buy a brand imported from Italy

Columbia's (and Mexico's) president objects to US military planes with immigrants landing in their country without any warning or permission. He said, get on the phone and set-up protocols (like a responsible adult). The US would not allow another country to land their military planes (or even be in our airspace) in our country without protocols in place.

and columbia folded like a paper bag in less then 30 min saying they will now fly their presidental private jets to get the people

I like Trump he is putting the socialist Pretro in his Place. Why this guy is not letting Colombians to be deported to Colombia. Colombia should not get visas to the USA and all economical sanctions. Go Trump the Latinos in the USA support you 100%.

Well....Starbucks is gone and coffee is like likely to triple in price, I wonder what caffeine addicted MAGA are going to do now? What about wood prices....hard to make affordable housing without inexpensive wood, and that's not even counting the Crude oil we get...If the Man-Child in charge is going to tariff everyone who pisses him off the whole world is going to be in a trade war against us.... make america great again by alienating the whole world and causing everything we buy more expense....thats the plan.

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

Columbia already folded to Trump and agreed to take them back. There's a REAL President that knows how to get things done! Seems like this comment section and CNN doesn't keep up to what's actually happening

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 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

CNN already spreading leftist propaganda. Columbia has already folded and offered to fly them back with the President’s plane. Amazing what a President gets done when he puts America first and is not a weakling like our last one.

A stick to do the US's bidding. More like a petulant child throwing tantrums to get his way.

Trump is like a big baby! Moment he can’t get his way… he cry’s and does stuff to make it worst

If you get deported as an illegal immigrant, you should be able to take your children with you. What about us who came here legally and we paid to get our citizenship and went through so much processing to get here legally while others can just cross the borders illegally and get citizenship somehow. They were not screened if they have criminal records and they didn't go through a health inspection like we did. The law is law and it should always be implemented, no exceptions. I have met someone who was not a U.S. citizen but she gave birth on an airplane above the U.S. territory and her son became an automatic U.S. Citizen. I thought that was weird. The children should maintain the same citizenship as their parents so they will not be separated. Birthright citizenship has divided and dislocated families. This law meant that the U.S. government will take the baby away from the parents because they have no citizenship and put their children in the Foster Care Home Systems? That doesn't even make sense to separate a family, this law is a home wrecker. It needs to be abolished ASAP.

If you are thinking about entering the United States illegally at the cost of your child's safety and your safety is it really worth it to be pimped out by the cartel that is the sad reality you or your baby will go through do not send your baby alone that is the most messed up inhuman thing anyone who has sent their baby alone is a monster because you don't even care what's going to happen to that baby you just care that one day they can send you money that is greed that is of greed sad reality you send your baby over the border illegally and it gets traffic there's not going to be no money sent home to Mommy and Daddy because either they're going to get murked before they're able to work or probably turn into drugs in their adult age because of all of the trauma do not send your women alone the cartel will pimp them out if you go through the wrong way do not trust people that say that they can get you in they are most likely the cartel planning to hurt you go storm your own capital you guys are taking away our housing it should be first for the people that were born here I have no bias against you because you're from another country but I have every bit of biased towards your behavior you guys have shity behavior that are crossing over illegally and at first I was for the families but now I'm not sure

Ive driven by a dozen homeless people and all i ever get is a sign asking for a coin or maybe they ask softly for money, this is like a child who is tired of their parents saying no for the first time. shame

This is awful! Bidens crew sure made them feel like they could come here and get in legally! They had no intention of the wall! Wake up, Americans ? We have to obey our laws,why not them??? They're not special or better than any American, so help me here. They are more than welcome to come here legally and go through the system. Now take the illegal aliens that have already broken American law and what would happen if Americans broke ANY LAW.....?

This is what you get if you invade a country \nWe Americans don’t support illegal migration go the front door like what I did 35 yrs ago I waited for my visa together with my two young sons we are now citizens of United States that’s the only way \nDon’t cross our borders illegally

They look like real life zombies. \nMendoza, wasn’t havin it ! \nThese people get here and are SUPER entitled.

They think they are entitled to free money, housing etc you never paid a dime into the system .Donald Trump will stop this big time .I'm british and sadly still live in the uk voting trump into power was a very smart move by the American people .America first American people first if your foreign and don't like it get out and don't come back I so wish we could do this in the uk.if reform get in in 2029 we will god willing

It sounds like you came to this country via the border. You were probably lucky. Maybe at that time we had a caring administration in office, probably a Democrat which allowed you to get that green card fairly quickly.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

Looks like we have to become the 51st to get action and rid of illegals!
