You guys voted this clown in, I'm on vacation in Medellin right now and always go get my 1.05 Coffee in the morning you in U.S will be paying 10.00 at McDonald's soon,good luck

So who is paying for the tariffs.\nWe the people who voted them and are the ones who are going to pay for the tariffs. This is a bad idea. The country is gonna go downhill immediately.

Trump is the kind of guy who learned one lesson from school - I think the day his brain worked at school, the teacher was talking about tariffs - he thinks tariffs are the antidote of all problems. The US drinks a lot of coffee, so that means now your Starbucks is double the prices and your people will pay it.

They rejected Trump’s deportation method for several reasons most important of which are undesirable individuals and smart spies. Countries usually do that.\nFor the Tariffs, we the consumers and producers will pay the tariffs not Columbia. That is, the Colombians bag Trump and Trump sticks it to Americans. What type of jock is this.

Cool we going to pay more for stuff then we already are

Wow, Donald, you just screwed Don Jr ! Do you know how much more Don Jr. is going to have to pay for his Coke now ?

China slapped bans on just about all Australians goods a few years ago. It was a wake up call for Australia as they realised they had relied too heavily on the Chinese market. So they found new export markets for their products. China, meanwhile experienced power shortages and realised they actually did need Australian coal. They have dropped all the tariffs and Australia is no longer putting all their eggs in one basket. The same will happen with US tariffs. Exporters will find new markets. The US will pay more or miss out.

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

?? This is just the beginning of the Trump shit show. Now we will have to pay more for our coffee! ?‍?

Americans will pay more for products. That will show them. ?‍?

We dont care. The billionario goverment can pay more expensive??

Trump is not punishing Columbia, he is punishing the American people. We are the ones who pay for the costs of tariffs on products imported.

You Trumpers are not aware or educated on anything. Do you want to be at war with every country?\nYOU will pay for the tariffs. Trump is a bully. Yes we need immigration reform. But not start a war with every\nCountry. Trump killed the immigration reform bill with Dems and repubs because it’s how he won. The bill conceded to the repubs in many ways and they were thrilled. Then he told them not to vote for it. Do you want your children in an unstable atmosphere cuz Trump is threatening everyone? think this through. He’s wants to be a ruler and the rest of the world gets his craziness a lot more than you guys.

Hope MAGA likes paying more for coffee. Idiots.

Great... so now we'll be paying more for coffee, oils, fruits... Cant wait

That funny,, United Fruit and Dole own all the farms in that Country! No wonder all those people are coming here, those fruit companies don't pay much!

Ah yes, Colombia are the only ones that can provide all that, people will not have other choices than to pay for the price differences caused by tariffs on Colombian products. Them liberals are dumb as duck.

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.

Why does he NOT understand that we will pay for this NOT other countries…

Americans will pay for the tariffs

So Americans have to pay the tariff to import Columbian oil?... Ok,so!\nAmericans must be thrilled to see their groceries cost more. \nWILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW TARIFFS WORK TO THIS MORON !!

Hahahah tariffs. Hell use those tariffs to steal it and send it to israhell. Meanwhile civilians will pay it with inflation. In reality, us govt is stealing from Americans ???

Wait, why do the American people have to pay more for products just because Trump doesn’t get his way.

don jr will have to pay 25 % more for his cocaine!

Hey MAGA!! Your Starbucks prices just jumped thru the roof! Gotta love all this winning! \nOther countries do NOT pay tariffs. WE do!

Trump is making things worse and we the American people going to pay the price every one that voted for him are idiots

Perhaps you should explain to those who voted for Trump in words they can understand, how tariffs work. We here in the United States will pay more for the products imported here. Buckle MAGAS you already are too poor to pay the prices now. These foods and products you won't be able to afford at all.

But.... did the price of eggs and gas go down?\nAll those who voted for this, get ready to pay more for food\nI had to school someone about Tariffs today ? \n\nTrump’s tariffs could tank the economy...\nThough Trump inherits a strong economy and low inflation, he’s proposed a 10 to 20 or even more \n tariff on all imports, and a 60 percent tariff on all imports from China. The Budget Lab at Yale estimates that this policy alone could raise consumer prices by as much as 5.1 percent and could diminish US economic growth by up to 1.4 percent. An analysis by the think tank Peterson Institute for International Economics, finds that Trump’s tariffs, when combined with some of his other proposals such as mass deportation, would lead to inflation rising between 6 and 9.3 percent.

Brilliant plan! Does anyone realize that all these tariffs will not affect the countries that he’s placing the tariffs on. US businesses pay for these tariffs then they pass on the cost of the tariffs to us the US citizens. Can’t wait to see how this is gonna go over.

One way or the other, we’re all going to pay for electing MAGA. How many people will starve when other countries join Columbia? In the mean time, we’re paying to house these “undocumented” migrants.

Get ready to pay more for your coffee.

There goes my coffee, sugar, flowers and fruits. I hope people are aware that we will be paying for it. Not Colombia

If you supported Trumps immigration policy you all should be Willing to pay higher prices on goods ..nothing is free friends

As President-elect Trump weighs up the tariffs he has promised to impose, it is important to understand who will pay them. \n \nThere is a popular misconception that when a country imposes tariffs on imported goods, it is punishing a foreign government or foreign firms. This is not a mistake made by economists. The tariff is paid at point of entry, and much of it goes to the government that imposed it. It is paid by the importer, a probable wholesaler, who passes it on in the form of higher prices for his or her customers.

Hey coffee drinkers, prepare to pay $20 a pound. Trump is a moron.

The Indians are taking over the world, and they are taking the high paying jobs of the nations.

It sounds more like stealing a land and say this is mine now and not allowing anyone in there, how is this moral. How did you earn to live in that country? Others are already paying the price but not YOU.

Americans choked in unison on your words, 30%. Are you joking? I don’t think anyone in America who’s not a part of the one percent pays less than 50 or 60% of their income towards housing. That’s the best case scenario most people are paying closer to 70 to 80%.

It’s called desperation folks. Do a little research and find out what these people are trying to get away from! What would you do if you believed that this was the only way to protect your children, your family? I understand that the US doesn’t want criminals coming across our borders and that this wasn’t the way to do it. There are also many normal people. My heart goes out to those that sold everything they had to have to pay the cartels to make it through Mexico, because they won’t let anyone pass through without paying them. I’m sorry for them having to deal with the worst that life could throw at them. I pray that they are able to find another way to live.

If you can't pay rent, to me it's straight forward you are not a good person go build your own house, that's when you will understand what it takes to build a house, please this shocks me, some one build a house puts it on rent and you are refusing to pay the rent that's not fair this breaks my heart

Don't forget free medical, then who payes for it. American Citizens with there taxes.

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants

Many companies are laying off workers for economic reasons while prioritizing international students and temporary workers over Canadians because they can pay them lower wages. Now, in this time, qualifications, experience, and performance stopped mattering. \nHow does the government expect Canadians to pay their bills, household expenses, and other costs in such a chaotic job market? How can Canadians compete with temporary students living in overcrowded rented houses, where multiple bunk beds are crammed into each room, and landlords charge $500 to $700 per bed? \nWhat measures will the government take to address this growing crisis?

I hope he or she is paying for that ambulance and not our tax dollars like seriously enough is enough

You must like paying taxes. Living in the West must get used to that.

The news here makes it sound bad that this is happening but the truly bad thing was allowing them to enter our country in an illegal manor in the first place AND THEN giving them hefty government aid that comes out of the pockets of those of us who pay taxes.

And who's paying for all of this. The United States taxpayers. But you can't do anything repeat about the crimes that Americans are making against Americans.

?? Build your WALL or pay the tariffs think ?????

Someone is paying g these masses to storm us… not everything is horrible in Venezuela , and look at el. Salvador and Nicaragua .. they’re kicking butt cleaning g up their countries and imprisoning g the gangs. There’s just something really fishy about this mass infliction.. they were promised something by a very corrupt BIDEN US government. And now they’ve come to collect.
