He can make threats about tariffs, but the Media won't tell you that those countries are starting to charge 25% tariffs to accept illegal aliens back. So he might look like a good president? He's going to make the economy fail.?

Guys there aren’t many countries where you can just walk right in with no papers, passport, ID, work visa or something of the sort. America just let this go on for too long so it’s going to be hard now to change the tide. Should’ve happened forever ago and we wouldn’t have to turn so many desperate families away like this. It’s definitely sad to watch it go down though.

Where are the soldiers!!!!!! They need to take action. This is like enemies attacking our country. This sure wouldn't go on in the 1800s

You know what let's reverse the tables here let's go to their side of the country and see how they like it ?

He is going to alienate America to the world because he's like a little child that doesn't get the lollipop

This happened months ago. They need dates for when things actually happen for shorts. Lol yt sucks. How is it ever ok to break laws. Just like me growing up in a Border town I can't just go into Mexico and stay or do what I want when I want I have to follow mx laws lmao yt is a joke and sucks

This is why Trump won. These people are truly mental. Why doesn't CNN do an interview live with a group of actual boarder agents on the frontline to allow them to express what they see everyday oh and ask them how many times the Biden administration made them stand down as they watched thousands enter illegally. I want that interview! Oh not to mention a momth ago biden administration sold huge piles of steel for literally pennies before Trump. Democrats claim to work for us and if that's true why are they going against these policies and trying to fight everything. The Democrats only like you if you vote for them. The American people have spoken Democrats! Listen and do your job.

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

Looks like Trump won this battle! Go Trump

Yall going to say they backed down after 39 mins? And say yes we will receive them and even send our presidential plane to pick them up… \nNaw cus CNN likes to spread lies to cause chaos and confusion…

@nathaniel.s28 Coffee will go up, but since the trucks that carried the coffee will have the room to bring more cocaine over, it likely prices will actually drop.

Wat an idiotic take.. foreigners despise us because we act like the same how we act in india. No traffic manners, cleanliness, playing loud music in quite neighborhood, hoarding surplus food from food bank. Can go on. We need to learn civic behavior first

This all smells like a false flag orchestrated by DNC Major donors, to ultimately have migrants severely injured or worse by our Border Patrol. As a result, Trump will labeled a Dictator who holds no regard to the lives of innocent Loving migrants. We need the Military and the entire US Homeland to build a wall. If not President Trump is going to call on every Citizen to stop this invasion at the Southern border, to prevent a collapse of our Country. Either we our Troops and homeland stop this invasion, or we will become Europe with no border and no walks. It may very come down to the Patriots of our Great ??

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Hey Don Jr, your cocaine is going to cost alot more now that Daddy acted out. MAGA, hope you like tea, because you won't be able to afford coffee anymore.

I can't believe that so many young children can be seen here! That's such a dangerous situation for parents to put them in! Apply for citizenship the right way so you can bring your family safely! Then, when your family is here with proper documentation, you'll be able to raise them in security without fear of deportation. I hate to see children going through this. They're at the mercy of their parents' judgement & things could be so much better for them if they weren't dragged through traumatic situations like this, just so their parents can cut corners. Why in the world can't you apply for citizenship the proper way? If your criminal record is the reason that you can't, well that's on you. If there are records of you pulling crap like this, you'll probably never be able to get here the proper way. Instead of choosing to be an actual American citizen, you'd rather choose to live your life as a fugitive & force your kids to live that way too? Give your family a real chance here by following the proper process to become citizens. You'll get a very different reception here.

Why dont these people overthrow their own corrupt govts like our Founding fathers did..Go away man. Do it legally or not at all. Freebees are over.

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.

Thanks for raising my grocery prices, this loser wants to fight everyone with tariffs like a chihuahua… If they all get together they’re going to trash the USA economy. Guy can’t do nothing right!!!

lol… he will impose tariffs left and right… USA will be isolated like no other. Way to go dumbass.

Did Trump think he could just put people on a plane a dump them in another country? Just like Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

These people-are acting like animals..\n Animals belong in cages. They are not going to shit on our country like they do on there’s..\n They were told no more..

First of all he is President Trump you know just like you referred to Biden as President Biden and not Joe Biden . Secondly the tariffs that were going to be imposed on Columbia , that wasn’t a threat it was a promise . Apparently they have forgotten about who they are trying to push around because those days are long since gone.

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 ??‍♂️

coffee price will skyrocket like crazy... fruits will go up high... poor for us consumers

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

Where's the money in thier pockets go when they get picked up?\n\nI know, no surplus in the Northern New World sonce like, 2001, but are we that broke?

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...

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

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!❤️?

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!

You work with other countries & they work with you. Act like you're a mob boss threatening allies & kissing enemies asses & the rest of the world is going to get it's back up & fight back. Columbia just wasn't playing the game of the strongman look Trump was trying by sending a military plane instead of a passenger plane.

Your fault Trump for not clearing all flights first. Just because you ordered it in America, does not mean other Countries are going to bow down to your wishes.... your Vendictive like a child... you don't care for others....

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

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.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Don’t like everything trump does … but this was a good one… let’s go Trump!

Don Jr is not going to like this. The huge lines of coke he does every are about to get much more expensive

This is what the Dems don't understand about tariffs -- they are a negotiating tool, Trump is using tariffs as a leverage. They're not meant to be permanent. They don't even have to go into effect at all. Just the threat of tariffs is often enough. Colombia can't survive without the US as a major trading partner. Tariffs would kill them. So, they quickly changed their tune. Which is why the Colombian President 'Gustavo Petro' has already folded to Trump and has reversed his decision to allow 2 military transport planes to land there after being threaten with tariffs, serious sanctions etc. Like him or not, Trump understands how to negotiate.

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

For what Hey Dumpy Trumpy no one Actually likes you,And your going to hurt America But that's right you're a billionaire and you don't care!

we are going to release them on the border and they can walk home...like they did in US

I think if the teriffs were going to be handed down to consumer like they say it will, I don’t think other countries would do anything in their power to avoid them

Looks like AMERICA WILL FINAL SEE THE PRICE OF TARIFFS \nYOUR COFFEE IS GOING COST X8 A CUP..YOU DRUGS WILL GO THOUGH THE ROOF ,SO ENJOY\nTHE FOOD YOU IMPORT YOU CAN NOW FORGET IT ,NEVER MIND YOU STILL CAN EAT YOUR EGGS \n\nOR DID YOU FORGET THEIR EXPENSIVE

I hope they fight back like hell, it's time for everyone to standup to a criminal so call president of US. He failed to realize the call he made it's going to hurt USA. All of the Republicans Congress and Trump supporters are enjoying this now but we will pay the price for his mess.

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.

The United States will feel the tariffs only hurts the American people. All products will go sky high. How you like your boy now magas? Not only eggs will go up but everything!!!

It worked so that's nice. Colombia doesn't even like to let the illegals go back to their country. ?

So the people of the United States are going to pay for Trump's deportations. So, how do you like that? Your morning cup of coffee is going to be more expensive now. How much more expensive? Ask Trump!.
