As someone who has done the immigration process legally, and know of people who have done it legally, I think it’s unfair that these illegal migrants can just come while I and those who done the process right had to pay a lot of money and wait a long time. People who are against this why don’t you understand? I have family who in their own country had to wait a LONG time for a visa just to visit the US and pay a lot too. I’m grateful for that Trump came into the office

I feel for them, however, they do not live here. You can only come in if we allow it. They try to enter like they live here. We need to shut this down.? try taking your country back. Do they not understand, this country is not theirs.

I never go where I am unwelcome like that... Id never understand it.

I hate trump supporters and the president right now because they got rid of the law that protected black people. I do not understand why almost every white people would hate people's skin. I hate that they are trying to recreate World War 2. Please veto Trump because he is doing the wrong thing. He even made another law that if you catch a person that crossed the border, they get 1,000 thousand dollars. Trump shouldn't be president because of the bad things now he has done. Tiktok is banned because of him.

I don’t understand why these folks won’t just go back to their country start a Revolution, and fix it but no they give up and decide that they think they can just come to somebody else’s country.

Joe Biden is a Criminal Disrupter N Chief / Terrorist… 4yrs and I don’t understand the point of ruining America exempt that he’s corrupt!!!

Why are they not going through the channels to become US citizens the legal and right way? I dont understand why they arnt trying to do it legally.

I do not understand why they don’t go back and fix their own country instead of all this chaos. Who wants people like that in our country anyway?

Are Trump supporters not understanding how crazy this is? Whether or not this issue is resolved, the guy has been in office for a week and he's already implementing protectionist measures as a political strategy. This is such a bad move for a country's economy. Y'all can’t even afford proper healthcare, groceries are insanely expensive, and you elect such an unstable person? I'm not trying to be judgy, but I genuinely don’t understand how you could see this and think, 'Yeah, that's my President.' Like, what?

Im mexican n ill tell you i understand why they are coming but its bullshit. My family did it right they didnt sit n cry n bitch about shit for hand outs they worked multiple jobs to suport family pay taxes ect. These mfs just want free shit u can tell

The dictator of Colombia must understand we do not treat drug dealers and pedophiles. With dignity and respect in our country.?

Lets understand this non sense. Colombia doesn’t want to accept back their citizens. But somehow this is Trump’s Problem. Headlines should say “Colombia refusing to take back their citizens” a problem which Biden Dems Obama and the CNN have created.

Thank god we have a real president putting out country FIRST!!! Lol at CNN still not understanding and having a tone that favors Columbia. Clowns

Obviously they don't understand what the word NO means. We are really tired of being flooded by illegal immigrants.

I understand their right to do that if they voted for it but why does Trump keep saying that Canadians need to secure the U.S. border when less than 1% of the migrants come from Canada and less than 0.01% of the fentanyl comes from Canada but illegals are coming from the U.S. into Canada and 90% of the guns used in murders in Canada came from America! Also 80-90% of the narcotics comes through the U.S.

These people must not understand that you cannot come in and take over. It's going to get ugly

So we say were going to send our military to the southern border, but the flow of migrants swells to an enormous crowd, I blame Mexico send those assholes back to their country Mexico is COMPLICIT AND THE SOONER WE GET MEXICO TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER, NOW MEXICO MAY WANT TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, WE PREFER THE EASY WAY EITHER WAY MEXICO YOUR GOING TO FEEL THE HEAT

Oh my god... OH MY GOD my head hurts trying to UNDERSTAND THIS DUDE!!!!

Does CNN understand the vast majority of migrants dont have a choice but to flee. Ofcourse they could flee elsewhere. But they're happy to come to America and work like slaves for us so we can have cheap stuff....

If you snuck it into the country illegally and are working illegally, which means you committed a federal offence, which also means you committed a felony, which means you’re also a criminal. What part don’t they understand?

I understand wanting your people to have dignity, but I’m not sure if the Columbian presidential plane is the best way, the best way to provide dignity for your people is to create a country where they don’t have to leave, where there is opportunity, where there is safety and true equality, when we leave our home countries it’s because our leaders have failed us: I hope this is resolved peacefully.

Americans still don’t understand tariffs.

The idiot still does not seem to understand that americans pay the tariffs.

I love it when CNN *pretends* to be a news network. They waste time reporting on fantasy scenarios that *never* happen. There is not a tariff war with Colombia. Trump was merely negotiating with the Colombian president using hardball tactics. Why is that so difficult to understand? These talking heads aren't real journalists.

Once again, tariffs are not paid by the imports coming into the USA, customs has to pay and USA citizens have to pay a higher price for those goods. This guy doesnt know or understand how tariffs work ???

can someone tell me this is not invasion? please help me understand. If a group of people trying to jump the fence to get into your house, would you stop them?

Howdy Trumpies? Prepare for inflation. I wonder if MAGA even understand how tariffs work? Tariffs are trade barriers, and they can be used to protect domestic industry. \nSuppose US imports a product 'A' for $100 from some country. Now, if 10% tariffs are imposed on that country then that product 'A' would be sold for $110. Enjoy!!! \nYes, a domestic company can produce that product A and sell it at low prices like say $90, since no import duties or stuff. However, that takes time and not all products can be produced domestically!

Colombia’s request is reasonable and fair, I don’t understand why the Trump administration would retaliate. They clearly haven’t coordinated with their Colombians counterparts and things fell apart. Why does the world have to suffer because of the whims of one person?

I understand that USA wants to deport all criminals. When will Trump be deported?

What in the sweet freshwater port is this Russian bots don’t understand how tariffs on goddamn Colombia is a stupid idea hell if then Colombia will just turn to trading it to other countries or joining brics if America is that unstable as a country why bother with them

Well Colombia was not even in the picture but if they insist, Trump will be happy to let them know that you cannot oppose to USA but especially to Trump. Hopefully they will understand soon or pay the consequences

I STRONGLY ADVISE CNN to replace the word TRUMP with the word USA to make it clear that all the chaos and ill will being generated is squarely the responsibility of the country ... United States of America which so blindly and misguidedly elected a bully / fascist/racist/ sexist/narcissist/ corrupt/ convicted felon as its President .... \nCNN, I strongly advise you NOT to glorify TRUMP by mentioning his name a million times on your news.... BLACK OUT his name ..... just replace the word TRUMP with the word USA. \nHope you understand how critical this is....\nplease avoid feeding Trump's hunger for attention......

Looks like the tariff threat worked. From what I understand Columbia is now accepting their citizens back.

It should be reported every time that Trump is hitting Americans with higher prices on imports like coffee. This reporting is confusing and misleading to the millions of Americans that don't understand what a tariff is. Propaganda is what it is.

But one thing I don’t understand , sorry my economics wasn’t good at school , if a country increases tariffs on imports coming to its own people, would it decrease consumer prices to its own people ? Please lecture me here .

i’m literally colombian ? and this is the worst colombia has been in history. and is bc our terrible left wing government allied us with venezuela and cuba so is no surprise why they are being like this and let along understandable why trump is taking these actions

Not a fan of Trump, but you get to really understand his animosity towards illegal immigrants in situations like this. How does a country turn away its own citizens. Scum leaders.

Hey mayor. These people are criminals. They entered our country illegally. What part of that is so hard for democrats to understand?

Duh!! Y'all just don't understand him. Why do you think he wants Greenland so badly? He's smart and his reason is spot on and he needs to do it. Greenland grows freeze dried coffee and all their produce is already frozen so that saves having to freeze em.

So let me make sure I understand! We, the US people, will be paying 25% more for all products coming in from Columbia. No one in Columbia will pay extra. This would essentially slow down products coming in from Columbia or any other country. The US people pay for this. It could or will change the behavior of these countries, but WE pay for this!!!

Trump lovers doe not have the intelectual ability to comprehend why the plane was not allowed to land. They also do not understand that the tariffs will be paid by them

Evil men make it difficult by complicating and twisting truth leaving deception and men confused deception makes it difficult because people are left confused to understand  but the wise will understand to discern the wolves at the gates who seek harm to the sheep we have real Islamic jihad enemies who make things difficult by being a thorn to the way to life bringing destruction upon their own selves

And Columbia will issue tariffs on the US to match, as well as take its trade to other countries more favorable to them! The USA loses because Trump is the biggest loser! Anyone who thinks that a man who lost the fortune his father gave him and bankrupted 5 companies, one of which was a casino, will be able to grow the US economy is uneducated, ignorant of the facts and truth and doesn't understand economics! CNN has a duty to tell the truth. Instead it is part of Trump's propaganda machine. Trump is not a king, he is a clown, a felon, fraudster, rapist, pedophile and cannot be trusted with a penny.

I still see how most of you googled tariffs, watched this video and still don’t understand tariffs. I swear you Magats turned politics into TMZ. Not a surprise from majority of you idiots electing someone who was never in the military or politics, just a fucking idiot that robs you while he looks you in the eye and letting racism, and literal fascist in the White House.

I don't understand the point the Colombian president was trying to make. It doesn't matter what kind of planes are used to transport them, those people broke the law and their actions are costing American tax payers thousands of dollars. Why did it take tariffs for him to offer his own plane?

Trump is such a stupid f*** Every Tariff is money out of OUR pockets. For those who don't understand the billions of commodities we use from Columbia, is probably a Trump supporter. He is such a whinny little wuss. Pretending as if he is protecting Americans as he lets insurrectionist on the street. This will fail. He most certainly will fail.

Why dont people understand that we are on the ass end of tariffs. The American consumer pays in the end.

Wasn’t it great the last 4 years with no angry news all day every day from a senior citizen with the mentality of a spoiled toddler? That orange faced idiot is so obnoxious, he doesn’t even understand tariffs. And you voted for him…. Well done
