You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

Trump is a pathological liar can't believe half of Americans voted for this guy!!?

....imagine the day a Columbian busboy caught by ICE had. I think the writers at SNL are getting yelled at by Lorne: I am gonna fire all of you and hire that one guy, in 4 years.

Dude the country is already poor, wtf is this guy doing\nBeing president doesn't mean playing conquest on day one

39 minutes hahah that’s all the time Trump needed to make that guy changed his mind

Trump will have to show these people he means business the dirty government and democrats are doing this against Trump he is going to have to take force; stop been the good guy on things for the safety of America

Guys this news becomes outdated within an hour after the Columbian government just said they will assist the plane for deportation

It's fine guys. Both Trump and the White House misspelled Colombia as Columbia, but these MAGA folks over there who can't even point to Colombia on a map say he's a genius.

THIS VIDEO IS OVER A YEAR OLD GUYS

Love this guy ❤

CNN is so disingenuous... Columbia has folded guys!

I starting to like this guy.

I was po'd that I had to pay $13 for a tv in my room when I had my kids LMAO! Canadian problem. Free now though. For the most part I like the safety and security of Canada. I always feel a little in danger when I visit the US. I think the idea that anyone can carry a weapon freaks me out. But, I love the shopping in the states. It is not cheaper for us to buy down there but you guys have way more variety.

This guy is a jerk. It’s not about doing Trumps bidding. It’s about taking back your criminals.

Why do they keep trying to make trump out to be a bad guy and they keep lying about bidens statistics on deporting...they really are trying to make a narrative that anything bad is on trump...like they keep bringing up why haven't prices gone down and he's been in office all of a week ? it's gonna at least take a couple months to fix what was done. This false reporting is why people are mislead. This is sad

This guy sounds Columbian

The only criminal here is orange Vulgar guy, we need to expell orange Vulgar thing to STUPID -LAND?

All you guys can do is lie

Ive found were the boomers with trumpmencha have wondered off too guys! Only thing left is to call ICE & tell them they're all Columbian national.

You guys should all constantly refer to Donald with the title that he has earnt. \n\nConvicted Felon, Adjudicated Rapist, Insurrectionist, President Trump. \n\nYou Americans should never refer to him as just President Trump. \n\nCan you imagine if you all referred to him his earnt title, constantly, collectively. The effect would be delicious

The only thing you see at the supermarket from Colombia is coffe. My guy said bananas? I guess, the other thing you can find in the blackmarket is cocaine. The contries in central America have jobs. Don't believe everthing they tell you.

You guys need to update your story.

You guys are a bunch of whiners they're going to be deported and you know it and you're making something bigger than it is your sensationalizing

This guy trump is digging the us into a hole.

What a child he is. I can’t believe you guys elected this fool for our president

Do you guys do your research

CNN just reads X/Twitter posts now? And they cut to a guy in Florida to do it??? \n\nNo wonder nobody takes CNN seriously. The only news they are breaking is that they somehow managed to turn a social media post by the president into an 8+ min video

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!!!

Our guy kicking arse! Can you imagine the kackler pulling that off. NOTTT!!!!!!

Rubio needs to Ask Pte.N B to removed this Colombian guy and put either INGRID ESCOBAR.or BETHY ARANA HELP US PLEASE.????

You guys are reporting after Colombian President has walked back his statement

You guys as usual to slow … ? \nKeep up or get outta the media game …

This guy is unbelievably stupid. Threatening countries with tariffs is a threat to us.

Man it happened and was resolved before you guys even heard about it. MSM is outdated and no longer valid. Enjoy the decline.

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

Well guys, starting today if you want to “Dance a Colombian Cumbia”…it’s going to be 25% more expensive.?

This guy might actually cause a recession within a year, incredible work ???

You guys realize that the president of Columbia already reversed his decision and is submitting to Trump's demands, right? looks like tariffs work, and democrats are wrong. AGAIN!

Donald is a FELON. YOU GUYS SHOULD REPORT SOME ACTUAL NEWS LIKE THAT.

breaking news from a guy in a suit in florida quoting a social media post.\nthis is amazing CNN. ?

Just in time for valentines day. A large amount of roses come from Antioquia. Have fun paying more for your flowers, guys.

Coffee gonna be more expensive, then switch to energy drinks liberals. Stop crying about your stupid Starbucks. You guys cry about the dumbest things.

I like Trump he is putting the socialist Pretro in his Place. Why this guy is not letting Colombians to be deported to Colombia. Colombia should not get visas to the USA and all economical sanctions. Go Trump the Latinos in the USA support you 100%.

You guys voted this clown in, I'm on vacation in Medellin right now and always go get my 1.05 Coffee in the morning you in U.S will be paying 10.00 at McDonald's soon,good luck

Trump is the kind of guy who learned one lesson from school - I think the day his brain worked at school, the teacher was talking about tariffs - he thinks tariffs are the antidote of all problems. The US drinks a lot of coffee, so that means now your Starbucks is double the prices and your people will pay it.

America... this guy is insane.

Were you guys born stupid? can't you see that this is great for Trump?

You Trumpers are not aware or educated on anything. Do you want to be at war with every country?\nYOU will pay for the tariffs. Trump is a bully. Yes we need immigration reform. But not start a war with every\nCountry. Trump killed the immigration reform bill with Dems and repubs because it’s how he won. The bill conceded to the repubs in many ways and they were thrilled. Then he told them not to vote for it. Do you want your children in an unstable atmosphere cuz Trump is threatening everyone? think this through. He’s wants to be a ruler and the rest of the world gets his craziness a lot more than you guys.

I'm sure all you guys would have loved to follow Kamala straight to hell. President Trump is trying to do something for our country and you guys are still stuck on stupid I'm not a Democrat or a republican I'm just not stuck on stupid.

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 .
