Time to change the name of Venezuela to Venezuela of the United States and start charging them with taxes to pay towards the United States.

It is time to respect all countries and use diplomacy and christian principles that USA preaches to its pockets and convenience..Human dignity should be applied in foreign policy..!! ..

The US is about to have next to no freinds.? everybody flocking to china. Time for china to bring freedom of navigation of the US coast ??

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

You can bet that every country he has threatened with tariffs, travel restrictions and other sanctions are already taking steps to be ready for them. Not only tit-for-tat tariffs etc, but also plans pulling national funds and other investments out of US banks and corporations and numerous other less obvious retaliations. The Law of Unintended Consequences is about to kick into effect big time and it will be interesting to see how it is manifested. Putin and Xi must be laughing their asses off.

I can't believe CNN is reporting in such a succinct and in depth manner this time.

CNN, your believers are dying fast. Might be time for you to wake up. Better later than never... I mean, ffs, look at the comments! ?

We have a new sheriff in town, but this time he is awake and working for the people. \nGoodbye, CNN!

Every time countries don't bow to your threats you punish the American consumers by raising taxes, soon Americans will be poor and can't afford to buy anything. Idiots in charge.

TRUMP changed Colombias mind so fast, by the time CNN uploaded their fear mongering video it was irrelevant ??

Every Latin American country, most be join BRICS and get away from the USA, Trump must be left alone by all of us, and us have to be united. he is a traitor, that will turn against all of us at some point. this is the time to act.

Good old ass whippen.this works all the time. Defend the boarder with lead.

Well Columbia said uncle within the time it takes to drink a cup of Columbian coffee.

It's about time we have a president that's protecting this nation not giving it away to our enemies

Yeaaaaa! TRUMP isn’t a cup cake like Biden! Time the countries find out! CNN too. Course they’re broke!

It's about time we get our country back, im loving what I'm seeing, thanks God for this President.

The nation were given our businesses by the last 5 democratic presidents. FACT. Its time we get them back. The only way farieners will make money is lower prices and more product.

Coffee, Bananas and Red Roses ( just in time for Valentines) are all going up. Thanks trump.

As an independent about time we have back bone in the White House. Trump is getting it done! Biden was ok with governments sending their criminals to the US! Shame on him for allowing this

Good! Dialogue is needed to stop the abuses. ? ? Desperate times call for drastic measures. Columbia doesn’t want its own citizens, wondering why? Mmmmmmmm

Trump has no clue what is going on in Columbia. This is going to backfire big time.

I love how the Columbian president just folded so quickly. The reality is, read the whole post. You'll see how strong it is. Basically, nobody is going to refuse to take their damn criminals back. Because if they do, Trump will make their economy collapse. It's about time someone sorted this country out.

For these slow people, let me explain how this works: tariffs work as a tax on poor people. First time in the White House, Trump put a 25% tariff on China goods. Dollar Tree, which imports from china usually to sell everything for a dollar had to pay 25 cents on a dollar in taxes to collect the goods from the ports. So it passed that tax to the prices. So went from everything $1 to everything $1.25. a 25% percent inflation. Then China stopped buying soybeans from USA. Farmers went broke and Trump have to give them 29 billion in handouts so they won’t go broke. Genius?

It's not surprising that Trump doesn't want his grades from Wharton School of Business released because he was at the bottom of his class and he is a multiple times failed businessman who has had everything in his life handed to him on a silver platter. Trump doesn't understand the basic fact that tariffs are passed on to consumers and INCREASE prices, NOT decrease them.

Roses are about to get more expensive just in time for valentines day.

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.

Please feel free to move on. We won’t hold it against you, and we will be fine. It’s a struggle right now. However if you ever thought you’d make a life in. Toronto or Vancouver, it’s silly. You can’t also easily live in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Just remember, you came here. We didn’t fail you, but when times are good, don’t feel like you should come back and enjoy that. We want people that want to live here.

Trump will piss off the whole world,one country at a time.

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.

Such an embarrassment, assumes he can bully the world, time will telll...

Petty, vindictive, sad 34 time convicted FELON ?

By the time cnn reports this Columbia already backtracked.

You Trump haters really do hate America.. This is typical SICK CNN. Losing big time just doesn't matter.

Time to DEPORT Trump to Russia along with all the people that voted for him.............................................

EACH COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT FOR WHO THEY WANT IN THEIR COUNTRY ALSO VIVA COLUMBIA TIME TO TIGHTEN UP YOUR BELTS PEOPLE TRUMP IS TRAMPLING THIS COUNTRY DEPRESSION IS COMING THANK YOU MAGA FOLLOWERS

Time to impeach the orange turd

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

Canada will gladly buy Colombian goods such as coffee! Let's do business directly between us and leave the USA out... It's time to stop the nonsense of letting the USA do money on us!

Time to consume domestic coffee. No biggie. Promises made promises kept

Trump is sending Don Jr. to speak to the Columbians. He deals with Columbians all the time, ask his nose...?

Trump is still trying to take over the world, one country at a time.

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.

it's going to be bumpy but biden's admin made this a reality...it's time to play hardball

As Americans we don't get to cry our way out of trouble when we're looking at prison time as we're separated from our families. Since when has common Sense been so rare.

About time Canada, nice of you to finally show up...

I guess we are all forgetting the invasion of the boat people in the 80’s…\nWhen the postal worker (mailman) accidentally delivered a government letter to my house instead of next door, I could see cash in the envelope. This is our country, but they have been helping anyone that has their hand out for far too long. It’s about time we are putting a stop to this madness.

It's time for Venezuelans to fix Venezuela.

Democrats won't be in power for a very long time

It's time to make these southern countries a part of the United States.

Sad but it's past time to close those borders
