Btw US dont need Colombia economy to grow its GDP, so, US can do whatever they can to safeguard its country...dont worry about banana from Colombia, the rest of the world has hell lota banana they can be sent to US ,the very next day

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!

Trump is systematically removing the US from the world stage.

Rest of the world countries must break relationship with US to teach solid lesson to US. Let's see how US economy do without other countries and banned dollar will be very good step.

And Colombia is hitting back. Remember Trump started a world trade war during his first term -- and the US got its butt kicked royally. South America stopped buying American produce and started buying from China. The EU stopped buying American steel and started buying from China. (US Steel ended up closing two American based plants as a result.) I see the same outcome during his second term.

Trump is starting a trade war with pretty much everyone else in the world. The US economy accounts for only 15% of the world's GDP, the rest of the world represents 85%. You have to be unbelievably arrogant to think you can win a trade war with China+Europe+Canada+Australia+South-America.

No other country in the world would put up with this. The US shouldn't be expected to either.

FASCIST CNN IS AGAIN DEFENDING THEIR STUPID DICTATOR. US IS A LAUGHINGSTOCK. IDIOT TRUMP HAS MANAGEND TO ENRAGE THE WHOLE WORLD. YOU IDIOYS ARE CNN ARE EVEN NOT ABLE TO REPORT IT CORRECTLY. CNN IS A SHITHOLE

It’s funny how US citizens don’t realize that they the only ones in the world that abuses of terms as “migrants” “illegals” “aliens” “border” The never talk in terms of humans of humanity…. They think humanitarian immigration crisis it’s only going on there. ….Otherwise the rest of the world doesn’t and is super open for diversity and no flags, how crazy ideological it has to be? But i get it on a place where there is literally a national flag in every 50 mts

The world belongs to US ?? \nHail Caesar!

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

This is the first POTUS willing to flex US might to get things done. This is only sinking in around the world. It makes the POTUS more hated, but he enjoys it.

What gives the US the authority over others to put sanctions ? The US dollar is the answer to that question. \nCan the US service its stupid debt if they lose the privilege they don’t deserve of having the US dollar being the world’s currency? \nFinally, will the US dollar survive Trumps 2nd Presidency?

I got a message for President Gustavo Pedro: Your Country is beautiful so your people, your Country is a paradise, I would listen to MR President Trump and get along with him. If you send your Presidential Plane for accommodating your people you're welcome, but you're not in the position to jeopardize your fragile economy for any reason whatsoever, peace, diplomatic relationship and trade and what you need the most as the entire world including us in America. MR President Trump is protecting the sovereignty of America and the people within.

The mainstream is trying to make me either feel bad for migrants or make us feel like we need these dirty third world people, who won’t assimilate to our culture, is worse for us than it is for them.. ????

Other countries could treat citizens of the US with the same courtesy. It's impressive how such uneducated and arrogant people see themselfs as the center of the world.

I hope the rest of the world will boycott the US because of Trump

a man who broke countless laws and raped a woman somehow ends up as President instead of in prison, and no he thinks he's on some crusade against illegal immigration. He is going to make the whole world hate us.

Trump is going ruin the US and isolate the country from the civilized world. The executive order to put a yellow patch on all that don’t applaud him will come soon. But the rest of the world will stand up to this bully

Where will Trump send the American criminals ? Is mar a Lago large enough . It appears the only country in the world without their own criminals is US . What a paradise . The # 1 criminal is the President of USA .

Columbia exports about 14 billion dollars worth of products to the US. Meanwhile, the United States exports over 20 billion dollars annually to Columbia, so who's going to lose here? This man is going to turn the world against us.

*HOW DID JESUS VIEW POLITICS?* Satan, the devil, offered Jesus rulership over [all] the kingdoms of the world. Did Jesus accept the generous proposal? No. (Matthew 4:8-11) Jesus never got involved with human politics. Why? Human leaders cannot save us or direct their steps. (Psalms 146: 3; Jeremiah 10: 23) Only one government will fix all our problems on this planet—God's Kingdom when established on earth. (Matthew 6: 10) This wicked world aka society will soon end and be replaced during Armageddon. We will see more ceasefires until all authority and power is given to the beast aka the United Nations and they will say: “Peace and security!” The great tribulation is [just around the corner]. Are you ready? Trump will be remembered as a “peacemaker” indeed because he'll attempt to battle Christ with his 144,000 kings who will rule over the earth. (Revelation 5: 10) Then after that war, real peace will exist from sea to sea.

1 tweet and 39 minutes is all it took for Trump to prove to the world that the US isn’t taking shit……This is peace through strength.

How is Columbia going to grow coffee in the US? Coffee lovers of the world unite, you've nothing to lose but your tea cup.

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.

Are we Nazi Germany now where the whole fucking world hates us?

Dear GOD, through the power of your only begotten SON JESUS and the Virgin Mary, please lift the DELUSION from these people of good will (2 Thessalonians 2-man of lawlessness) and let them wake up to the fact that Trump is not the man they think he is! He is against all that is TRUE and HOLY and will lead this great country to destruction. He is a son of Satan (father of all lies). He claims he is the CHOSEN ONE, but he behaves in the opposite manner of what JESUS would do (anti-Christ). He loves only himself! He claims to love the Holy Bible yet cannot recite one verse of scripture! Jesus warned us of the false prophets, and messiahs that would come after HIM deceiving even the elect of GOD! Trump is one such FALSE MESSIAH. Satan (ruler of THIS world) has given his son immense power to deceive men's minds, and GOD is allowing us to be punished for the sin of ELECTIVE abortion We need to REPENT, PRAY and RENEW our trust in JESUS CHRIST and his Mother Mary and follow them, carrying our cross on the road that will lead us back to the FATHER! AMEN - JOHN 3:16!

Americans are incredibly short-sighted.. Yes this Tariffs bullying will work now on the short term. But you're always driving countries to review their strategic partnerships and look elsewhere. So ok, in the immediate, this might sound like a win (for those with the IQ of a turtle), but the US just gave the whole world another reason to join BRICS, and start looking into ways to drop the US dollar. We'll revisit this in 2-4 years ?

well... if he carries on, all other countries in the world will ally with each other against the US economically and then Trump can cry! I can imagine a world wild economical embargo against US until Trump is replaced.

It's time for world leaders to stand up to this Orange Buffoon, he can't terrorize the whole world. Other countries can put tariffs in place as well, they all need to unite. it will crush the US Economy within days!

China says thank you very much!! Soon we will be surrounded by counties turning to China as a trading partner instead of the US. Trump will make China the Super Power as we become a third world shithole.

Every country in the world should gang up against the US and see if they can trade by themselves in isolation.

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 many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

By the time he’s out of office the whole world will hate us

Trump is isolating the US from the rest of the world so that he can molest us... wake up!

The world already hates the US because of enabling and blank check for the genocide in Gaza. Now they are really going to hate the US. The US GOVERNMENT has overthrown every single nation in central and south america. All the nations are not going to have a choice but to turn to bricks.

These turd world countries need us $$ more than we need them.

Trump is teaching the rest of the world that the only way to deal with him is for them to collectively isolate and destroy the economy of the USA. Trump thinks he can force HIS agenda on other sovereign nations. This will not end well for us.

These turd world countries need us $$ more than we need them

Is the world going to BOICOT the US?

I’m not a financial expert but it strikes me that placing a tariff on every country of the world (especially major trading partners like china and Canada) will only harm the US and therefore US citizens.

Trump is only setting up U.S.A to be the whole world enemy. Imagine these South America and Central America countries expelled America Military Bases and allow Russia and China to open bases all their missles points at us. Congress do something about Trump before it is too late.

The world we live in.. “the kind of imports that come into US from Colombia is mostly food” ???

The entire world is uniting against Trump and the US. He is insane, and America is about to face the harsh reality that reelecting a farking lunatic to be the president has consequences.

Other countries are just figuring out how to make money without us. He’s hastening the end of America as an economic world power.

Why CNN should fight with US Govt administration instead of supporting it ?. It helps people to take CNN seriously when CNN report something negative and real problem that need attention of the world.

Trump will finish with a world wide trade war. Countries will stop trading with the US and it will cost the US trillians.

The world will turn on us.

This orange clown is going to pit the whole world against us. He’s going to eat his tariffs.
