yes WELL DONE TRUMP KEEP UP You know you are bad when even your country doesn’t want you back. \nWe need nothing from Colombia, we will look for it in other places, the world is huge

I would ordinarily be defending the USA. But this is Trump. And it’s being pushed without setting it up. They want to know what is going on. Naturally ! But Trump doesn’t think anyone or any Government can oppose him. The South American countries are dog walking our corrupt Leader. He’s a disgrace to America

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

why Latin countries only now talking about the situation of migrants? they don't know this before?

Imagine how the world looks at U.S., knowing Donald Trump will zap other countries with tariffs & sanctions whenever he does not get what he wants from them.

Go home and Demand your leaders back home to support your family rights freedom protection food shelter school and jobs the same way you all voted for charges here do the same back home stop running from your country and fight to build it to be the greatest country for yourself and you will never have to go through this in your life again man will fail you but God will never forsake you it's a sign time run out you all got court in the change you all voted for against your self this is f up why did you all vote for trump knowing he's a man to his word whether he's right or wrong his going to get his way because you all give him the right to do what ever he wants to do with your life in God we continue to trust hallelujah amen ??

Tells you that other countries know these are bad people that they won't even accept their own citizens back.

So now our chump president looks like the fool we all know he is. \nColumbia just ignore our fool and send your products to other countries that do not have a fool for a president! \nThank you for standing up for your country “you are the man!” America is the fool for allowing our resume fool-president to get away with his nonsense and cruelty. \n\nI personally hope every country follows suit and lets none of our plains land in heir countries for any reason

Colombia knows his game if they accept he will sill slap tariffs. Those are used for running a business not the country threatening other countries and demanding war. Narcissist violent psychopath behavior ?no one is doing shit about this he is tryna get richer for himself demanding other countries to pay him. Lying to his supporters by raising prices on them on everything.

Traffics will increase costs initially, but American companies will start bringing jobs home as it costs them more to operate in foreign countries. The question is why is Columbia not accepting their citizens back! They know they sent their gangs and criminals to the US and don’t want to deal with them again!

Well, this is good. Why the hell aren’t these countries taking back their own people because they know that those individuals are no good that’s why they sent them to us in the first place so this is a good thing. That being said he needs to ease back on with these other two countries I mean really we trade with them a lot talk about getting expensive mercy. 3:41 why does CNN have all these specialist and analyst on? They are always totally wrong and bias and one sided I mean come on they put the story out knowing that Columbia was gonna fold immediately so all this talk is for nothing just making people fearful of outcomes that have already been decided so they need to get off gas and shut the hell up I don’t know why you click on CNN they have not been telling the truth for years

Very sad he’s only creating a war and all those countries going the other way on trade to China, Middle East and Asia and Russia . You know whose will hurt us the American people sadly.

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.

Well, this is good. Why the hell aren’t these countries taking back their own people because they know that those individuals are no good that’s why they sent them to us in the first place so this is a good thing. That being said he needs to ease back on with these other two countries I mean really we trade with them a lot talk about getting expensive mercy. 3:41

You know you are bad when even your country doesn’t want you back.

It’s not about turning away from their own country’s people it’s about letting know , this imbecile “orange “ laughing stuck that he can’t just dumping brown people all over the South American continent on the whims without any protocol , just because he made a promise to his lunatic maga fans ??

I think we Americans can boycott bananas and tropical fruits for a while... Plus other countries have coffee.I know hawaii does too...

Great. So Trump is sending a foreign country a military plane with people he don't know the identity of. As in undocumented. Impressive. Maybe every country should do the same to the US? On military planes?

All these countries don't realize the USA can survive without them. OH NO! not my papaya and mango. The USA is very self sufficient, we just might live without some luxuries. While they lose Foreign Aid and exports to the USA. except Israel of course (we all know why.)

Do they know what “ migrants” was used for? Migrant workers who would go back and forth during agriculture seasons. \nThese people are not “migrants”, their illegal aliens who did not come into the US lawfully. Praise this President who is not going to put up with countries sending their citizens into this country snd crossing the border illegally

How do you know the origin of an individual if they are un documented?\nThe country taking them need to be assured they are Columbian, and they have the facilities to process them.

I get that alot of republicans are happy trump is showing that the United States finally has someone who will not mess around but do they also realise if we turn our backs on most of our allies (which elon and trump HAVE threatned on nato and UK) then we will just be fighting the entire world at that point and we all know we cant fight every other country alone

You know what makes Trump a political buffoon? Americans took over Central and South America in the 1940s. Oh, now that the leader of Columbia turned back American military aircraft this announcer is said he's not popular with his people. And please, talk English.This isn't an immigrant crack-down if military craft fly to other countries at will.

Colombia and these other countries aren't gonna be paying for these tariffs so I don't know what kind of threat this is to Columbia. Tariffs, they're gonna hurt the American people and nobody else!

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

You don t come to USA if you don t know where to leave period .It has been like that for years.Normally from the airport you have to fill the adress of who will host you or the person who sponsored you.\nAnd by immigration standard you should not come here to be a charge and take advantage of the welfare system .From the USA ambassy where you postule for a USA visa everything is designed to avoid those kinds of situations .If you dont have a place to stay then ICE has to send you back to where you came .USA has been almost like that for years???.\nIf you cross the border illigaly you have to be detain and expulse automatically.\nSeeking asylum don t mean it as to be in USA only .There are so many countries crossed by those migrants that could and should take them as asylum seekers unless those countries did not sign the asylum seekers international treaty.

So how's that strong man bullying working out for you tRump? Are crops are going to waste in the field because you're scaring people and you're not even deporting as many people as Biden did without all the drama! You know you could actually work with some of these countries and get a much better return.

He knows the USA is powerful and no countries would challenge him, I’m pretty sure Colombia president will change is mind in the coming hours.\nI wish we have a leader like Trump in my beautiful Africa , we would be soooo far ahead by now??.\nThe ones we had were either killed by the west or put in jail.

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 .

Columbia will accept if the deported immigrants are verified that they’re citizens. Like in the past with commercial flights With emergency travel documents. Who knows what these people are , could be AGENTS /spies TO disrupt the country with coup. You can’t just land any military aircraft into anywhere without the other\nCountries national security agencies .

Try sending them with civilian planes. Military planes are considered you know military forces so it could be viewed as an invasion.\n\nSame reason why other countries don’t use military planes to enter US territory there are rules…

and now all other countries sending in goods to America will raise prices(10-20%) knowing America has lost goods coming in from Colombia

They need to stop ✋ it… they know it’s wrong to continue to do this…. Go back to your country and fix it… It’s not free to come to other countries…. This is so disrespectful

The criminals because I cannot understand how you can come in somebody house on the man that I have to stay there you do not know them they don't have passports you do not know who they are but they want they don't have a dollar in their pocket you have to give them food taxpayers you have to give them housing how the Man full Venezuela have oil to fight the prime minister of Venezuela and take over somebody rule the country fix all your own country first

THIS IS INSANE. WE DO NOT NEED THIS IN OUR COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS AMERICANS TO DEAL WITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BREAK OUR LAWS TO GET IN THE COUNTY.... THEY WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO BREAK THEM ONCE THEY ARE HERE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS TERRIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM RUSH OUR BORDERS HOWEVER... THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE... ALSO WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RELEASE OF THE PRISONS IN THOSE SOUTH AMERICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN PRISONS WHERE THEY TOLD THE PRISONERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES THAT IF THEY CAN GET ACROSS THE AMERICAN BORDER THEY WILL BE FREE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND GIVEN FREE SHOT AT A LIFE IN AMERICA AND NOT IN PRISON.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET ACROSS THAT BORDER ALSO

Why do these bottom feeders think they can just barge into our country? They have no rights. They don't belong here, we don't want them here. They have nothing, will only drain taxpayers. No skills, don't know the language, only want the things free that we Americans have had to work for, and now we're supposed to work to give these things to them? They come from violent places, diseased places, and many of them have and will commit horrendous acts against Americans. Thank God for President Trump and Tom Homan.

I'm a Finn living in Paraguay. My husband and I lived in Germany for eleven years until we moved to Paraguay two years ago. Life is good even though financially it's different than in Germany. However, we have built a house, we have some land, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. We have a car and food. It's more than I ever dreamed of. We strongly feel that we have a future and it's lovely.\n\nOne thing one must keep in mind: part of your first home country and your past will always be in you. That creates a process of mourning you have to go through. And the longer you are away the greater becomes the difference between you and your own country because you both are changing but to the different directions. You realize that there's no going back. This is what I'm processing at the moment. I know it takes its time and one day it will be completely fine.\nI wish you all the best for your life.

Good decision! They should know how to behave in thee other countries before they come in! it’s not India.

Such a shame not being wanted is devastating we don't know what they go through in their country. But I agree they need to learn to stand up for their country and help each other create work for each other and provide for each other by sharing their food their vege gardens crops. Come on people learn to support yourselves in your own country.❤❤❤

No one knows the true facts .have you walked in their shoes even the months it took to walk to the mexican border. Many trying to escape poverty and bad stuff and dictators in own countries. As Jesus put it we are all Gods chil

Looks like an invasion to me. Normally you would use military force when somebody tries to invade your country I don't know why this is any different

Stay out know one wants you here stay in your country we hate you people taking from us

As a Brit I know many decent integrated Indians here. But none of them are recent arrivals. Older immigrants were respectful and wanted to be British and adopt British ways. But newer immigrants act as if we owe them something while acting in disrespectful dirty disgusting ways. For example in India I have to use Indian toilets as Indians do. I don’t pretend I don’t understand how to use them, I don’t need instructions on the door and I don’t break the toilet by standing on it, shytting up the walls and all over the floor and leave it there like that’s normal. I’ve worked in offices where this was routine when Indian contractors were brought in. Integrated Indian men seem to take great pride in dressing smartly and smelling good. But it’s really common for Indians to smell REALLY BAD. Poor personal hygiene plus excessive amounts of Indian food (you’re abroad ffs try some different food!) creates a truly vile odour. Some Indian men also think it acceptable to stare at and harass British girls (although to be fair they do not have as bad a reputation as their neighbours) they are also rude and racist to white people especially women. Some Indians in 2025 still seem to think they’re living under the Raj and Britain is ‘oppressing’ them. They’re not and we’re not. The empire brought benefits to India and left peacefully over 70 YEARS ago. We don’t owe you ANYTHING. This victim mentality means India will NEVER be a proper first world country. You can flood the world with sheer numbers but you will never be respected or improve the world in any way, you will only ever leech off the invention of others. I do not mean to disrespect the many decent Indian people I’m just telling the truth. As a culture your presence outside of India is negative because of the way so many Indians act, trying to create India wherever they go. And they have the cheek to say this is ok because they got colonised. WELL SO DID WE! That is the truth.

Report them wherever you see them report reports let them know where they're hiding if you know get them out of our country

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

0:50 Federal immigration law ?, seriously! Comming to the US illegally. Is Global News trying ? play politics or they're d---- and not know why those deportees were deported? So you're telling me Canada isn't deporting anymore who comes into their country illegally, or what? ?

I will not entered another country this way ever!! This is terrible, I know things are tough all over the world but thinking that the US it's the answer its just wrong! People need to wake up!

I don't know whey they leave their country instead of make their country great ... Every one should boycott America to visit and consume american products then they know there value... We make America high and we make America down

It makes me sad that these folks are this desperate. Especially the women and children. I don't know the answer - I know I don't want criminals coming over, but these folks are incredibly desperate. ? If they make it here, they will learn that our country is just as phucked up as their country - and getting worse, actually.

Seeing this is so sick they need to use that all energy to take that their own government. Why don’t nobody in America speak Spanish to them all to let them know go back and fight for your own country. It shows the coward in them and they feel like we are weak and this is why they do these things. They also come over here and treat us the same way as humans and as US citizens why they use and live off of us.??
