so why are they turning back their so-called migrants because they know they are criminals. CNN America does not have a trade war with a nation which has a GDP which is 1% of the US GDP America has been disrespected too much enough is enough. I dont care if my coffee and Bananas are expensive in the short run i care about Americans getting Jobs.

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

How soon before people realize that other countries dont pay tariffs and they get passed on to american citizens?

Fun fact: Columbia is where we get a major chunk of our coffee from, so now our coffee, our fuel for working Americans will get more expensive if this is a prolonged tariff! We're just hurting ourselves with these outrageous tariffs because all of these countries (even Columbia) can just sell the supply of whatever the US is putting a tariff on to other countries like in Europe or Asia, or could just put retaliatory tariffs on us, leading to a possible trade war over FUCKING COFFEE. Our 2 party political system sucks harder than the jet engines of those planes that got denied.

There is no trade war,Trumps doing what the American people voted for,he's been in 1 week and has done more then the Biden administration did in 4 years,CNN is the most fake news out there besides MSNBC the American people want change its already happening and your fake ass news covering is getting old

Quick, Americans should stock up on coffee from Colombia ($1.5 Billion); cut flowers, bulbs, live trees ($1.6 Billion); mineral fuels, oil, distillation products ($7.2 Billion); pearls, precious stones, metals, coins ($1.9 Billion); and another 100+ products that make up another $10 to $12 Billion of annual imports. So, 50% tariffs on the total imports with Columbia would mean American importers of these goods would pay an additional $10 Billion which...of course...adds to their 'landed cost of goods' and gets passed on to guess who? The end consumer.

I'm an Indian american immigrant stood in line for over a decade to get USC. We as a country can give up bananas and whatever else comes from these countries, there is enough food here to survive etc, it is matter of month or so before the country realizes they can not survive but USA needs to be cleaned up from illegal immigrants period.

Columbia will be broke within a month if they don’t reverse course! America has a GDP of $98 trillion. Whereas Colombia has a GDP of 365 billion. We can always get coffee and cocaine from other countries.! but how will Columbia replace American goods and aid? good luck getting that from China.! ?

Good get them the hell out and start housing the dreamers who are American citizens living in tents all over the damn country. More of a nightmare for them.

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!

Great for the American people, you can be proud to have a real leader. Like this Columbian clown president, we also have weak socialist leader in Canada. He had to resign after getting punked by Trump.

Don’t come to this country thinking the grass will be greener. You all will suffer here and treated like crap. The American dream has become the worse nightmare even for citizens of the country. Many homeless and mentally ill people that get no assistance plus crime everywhere. Don’t waste your lives here.

Well when the American people get scammed with this kind of president we thank the rest of the world for helping out the Americans! We couldn't do it without you. Thank you South America for your help!

OMG I just don't get it half of the American people can't see it

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.

Now coffee is going up in price. ??\nTrump still has no idea how tariffs work. He’s punishing Americans because he can’t get his way with other countries.

The United States of Asses (USA) Village Idiot President is playing Stupid Games and the American DimWit consumers are going to get Stupid Prizes.

when is the tarrif goona hit places like india....the number of illegals from india is exponential....but guess what indians run the tech giants...lets see if trumpy can pull it off...\n\nand sure colombia tariffs, coffee and all the cocaine consumed is goona get expensive for americans....

Europe should join South America and Canada and give the orange clown an ultimatum; stop his nonsense threatening or get a 50% tariff on all American goods.

Dumb ass going to get everyone hating Americans

It’s time to get the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN. \nCheck this out from 1974. It may be dated but it is still true: Byron MacGregor - Americans - 1974

Good God my fellow Americans if you want to buy a TV a radio a telephone anything that's got foreign parts in you better do it now because they will cost five times as much by the time summer gets here cuz this stupid orange goblin is in charge now y'all wanted him I voted for her

Americans will be going on a forced diet , food /groceries prices about to skyrocket . Between the large % of field workers afraid of I.C.E. so not going to work ,produce is rotting , so shortages will be huge and then tariffs starting Feb 1st . Thanx MAGA for putting this dangerous buffoon and dictator wannabe in The Oval Office . Your chosen ignorance affects ALL Americans who now must pay the consequences of your hatred and stupidity . Stop chanting “ We won Libs, get over it .”

Well Americans you're not getting your Colombian coffee! Oh well you happy you elected this fascist madman?

? 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

Democrats have told the world we are a welfare state. Come get your piece of pie from the Americans who work for a living! The Democrats should be in prison!

He’s not asking Columbia to take Americans but to take their own citizens back. We can get tropical fruit from FL, PR, HI and the USVI. We’re not playing with Columbia so they better stop playing with us.

They won't be the ones paying it, all in Americans will be paying it. You literally don't get any more stupid than Trump is.

Brace for it. I suggest Americans get rations.

Brace for it. I suggest Americans get rations.

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!!!

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.

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.

So every time Trump doesn’t get his way he takes it out on the American people. I guess that’s what America first means.

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

I'm an immigrant and I am in total support of President Trump. You should continue. Whole world getting American money but they don't want to help us with their own criminals...

So Trump’s throwing all the immigrants back into Mexico, so is Mexico gonna get all the Americans out of Mexico the ones that are living over there back into the United States

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

Hopefully are USA children can get jobs there parents can come out of the woods Americans need to not longer pay extortion money are cops collected 4 years pay checks and refused to arrest them don't defund the police DEPORT them with their pals

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??

Who cares? He can raise it up to $1000. Americans will pay for that.\nWill Colombia get poor ?????\nFoghorn Leghorn can do whatever pleases him.\n??

Well countries going to hit agent orange right back each flight costing over 500k of tax payer money. 20 dollar eggs on its way, Mexico Canada making trade deals with China Americans will get screwed hard,thanks magats

Oh Bulls&&&! He wasn’t deporting anybody in the first place. This was just to throw Black Americans off because the attack is really about them. Stop the buffoonery. Not fooling all Black people!!! That’s why he released the klan of Blacks. 1500 and the rest of Americans that hate blacks. Black people you better get ready for the fight of your lives!

RETURN TO SENDER, \nBUT SENDER REFUSED?\nNo wonder Trump is right to get em out!\nImagine Columbia paying to return Americans it denied entry, only to have USA refuse to them to come home! \nTrump is right that many countries are taking advantage of America!

American people are about to get kicked out of every latin country??

LMAO what a clown. Get ready for more expensive coffee and anything else coming from Colombia.\nRemember, Columbia does not pay the tariff, WE DO. Every product that Americans use that contains\ncaffeine will now go up in price so that importers can recoup the tariff the AMERICAN company had\nto pay to import it. So, your Starbucks coffee will go up, ground coffee, instant coffee, energy drinks, etc.\nwill ALL GO UP IN PRICE.\n\nThe Orange Traitor sticking it to Americans once again. He grifted off of MAGA for years and they\nvoted him back in. He's constantly signing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, all of which\nare or will be challenged in court. And now he begins his dumbass tariff wars to skyrocket prices and\ninflation in THIS country.\n\nHey MAGA, when are you going to figure out this criminal president doesn't give a f*** about you. He \ndoesn't need your vote anymore, and he's a lame duck president. He's gone insane trying to use \nbully tactics to enact his racist immigration ideas. He's destroying the immigrant workforce in \nAmerica. Gas prices up, food prices up. Inflation up already. Violence up already. THIS is what you\nvoted for.

( YALL GETTING READY TO SEE THOSE CRYING AMERICANS WHO SAY “ THE FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING OUR JOBS “ OKAY THE JOBS ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE FOR YOU NOW GET OUT THERE AND WORK THOSE JOBS YOU CLAIM FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING . AMERICA GET READY FOR A FOOD SHORTAGE NOW AND TRUCKERS THERES \nGONNA BE SHORTAGE ON LOADS ALSO. Trump is\n Messing up something that helped America thrive for all these\n Many many many years. So now to you who were crying the foreigners taking our jobs OKAY THEY ARE GONE SO NOW THE JOBS ARE GONNA BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU LETS SEE IF THESE AMERICANS GET OUT AND NOW DONT THE WORK THE FOREIGNERS WERE DOING.

Americans gonna get taxed like no tomorrow.

Trump doesn’t care if food prices go up for Americans. As long as McDonalds doesn’t go out of business and he can still go get his daily Big Mac, he could care less.

Americans will now get to know what tariffs will mean to them
