So drugs in the US will be more expensive now.

Columbia could just as well call to arms against the US. How do they think they could win thus trade war? The only war they win is the drug war. The cartels that is.

Colombia Govt is run by the drug cartels.. they are not taking back their members even if you crash the economy.. they run on the illegal economy anyway.

Seems like the Colombian president is CEO of the criminal and drug syndicate in Colombia

@CNN - Soooo he's implementing a tariff on bananas, coffee and.... Cocaine??? I'm sure that's not gonna sit well with the drug dealers...\nBananas and coffee can be sourced elsewhere.\n#Tariff47Instead

Pathetic liberal media propaganda from CNN.\nI guess they hate the United States and wants our country to be flooded with illegal immigrants who are drug dealers and murderers killing our children.

Colombia's #1 export to the United States is illegal drugs. How exactly do tariffs work on those items?

YOUR DRUGS WILL NO LONGER CROSS OUR BORDER..

ANGRY BECAUSE YOUR GROUND WARFARE USING DRUGS TO TRY AND DESTROY AMERICA..NO LONGER , EFFECTIVE..

COLUMBIA USES THESE IMMIGRANTS TO FUNNEL DRUGS AND FLOOD THE U.S.A..

Trump just disguise your planes to look liked drug runners

they came from Colombia and now they dont want there own people back ...terrorists and drug dealers how nice is Colombia lol just beautiful they dont want there own immigration back

Shut up.. we can get bananas from friendly countries, not from cocain dealers and drug peddlers

I thought all we got from Columbia was drugs ?

No. Military planes is threatening to any country!Colombia doesn't like the president sending them on military planes. He said he will accept the colombians if they are transferred in the normal planes migrants have always came back on. Actually the military planes cost us tax payers 20,000 a flight per hour. The traditional planes cost 8000. So just stick to the normal planes and everyone wins. It really is,all silly. Stupid news. Let's put some regulations on real estate market. So tired of drug money laundering used to buy homes and I cannot afford a home. This is just trump tv unnecessary drama!

Looks like AMERICA WILL FINAL SEE THE PRICE OF TARIFFS \nYOUR COFFEE IS GOING COST X8 A CUP..YOU DRUGS WILL GO THOUGH THE ROOF ,SO ENJOY\nTHE FOOD YOU IMPORT YOU CAN NOW FORGET IT ,NEVER MIND YOU STILL CAN EAT YOUR EGGS \n\nOR DID YOU FORGET THEIR EXPENSIVE

God bless Trump. End relationships with narco columbia. The drug war needs ro stop. End all migration from Columbia revoke all citizenship nack 50 years. God bless . 190 countries to go. No more cocaine.\n\nThe deaths caused by thier drug cartels is a crisis.

Aaaaa coffee and drugs. So don’t buy Colombian coffee.

All this illegal immigrant mess has to stop. My question is.. why we do not take care of our homeless people, our veterans, the drug issue, mental health in our country and we let the other countries resolve their issues. We cannot use our tax dollars to fix other peoples problems we have our own. CNN, MNSN are so ridiculous and indecent with Americans.!! Why i dont see images of all the homeless people sleeping in the subway.. i guess there are no shelters, debit cars and meals for them!! Ahh and before you said anything im a Venezuelan legal migrant now proud american!!

trump will have to pay more for don jrs drug habit

Colombia be like, who cares? We have cocaine and drugs everywhere.....

How can be so stupid ? What about iall the anti drug agreement and all the Americans that are working in Colombia on this topic ? Cartels thank him !

regardless, trump and MAGA won't make a dent in the ~11 million people here illegally... but he'll probably be able to deport all the hard workers who show up to do jobs white people don't want to do... so produce/meat prices will go up and construction worksites will shut down... plus the border is still as wide-open as it's ever been to drugs and cartels... another bungled 'crisis'...

Colombia sells nothing but drugs. Just think of the poor musicians and Hollywood stars not being able to afford their fix.

What President Trump is doing is great they have been letting their people pump drugs into America for years

So u CNN guys care more abt coffee and food than the destruction drugs and the harm that thz illegal aliens and gangs cause the US..good job! ???

No. It's going to be harder to get drugs in

right when coke was at rock bottom prices, only problem with shutting down the border is that the good drugs pouring in all over America will just go up in price. this is not good news for drug addicts that is for sure.

Love the comments from white trash drug users from the us mocking Colombia for cocaine. The final addict in the us will pay the tariff, not Colombia or any other country

Petro is a communist who is hated in Colombia because of his relationship with drug cartels , This misstep may be what finally ends his Presidency.

I’m gonna stop buying anything from that drug lord state. Columbia. Banned. I can go without a lot of stuff. Not worried.

Colombia , our President is not fucking around . You can't win . Don't even try . President Trump will put your ass out of business . The price of illegal drugs just went up .

Pissing of the president of the country stopping the flow of drugs to the USA....now that is intelligence.

Is he going to put tariffs on their drugs ?

All the other drugs that cocaine is mixed with will go up to.

Bananas are more expensive but columbian drug dealers are gone and Americans are safer? Does that really deserve debate?

Wait, didn't thar orange pardon a guy who was selling drugs on the Dark Net ? What's this shit now ? CNN ,do your job, hassle that orange for answers!

They don't consume American goods and i don't do drugs Go Trump go !

Columbia will cave pretty quick. They need us more than we need them. Take back your illegal drug mules a holes.

Hes only hoing to make the drug dealers more money. The price of cocaine is gon skyrocket??

MAGA cocaine users are OK, as illegal drugs are not subject to Trump's tariffs.

What does Columbia export? Drugs and beautiful woman?

The Colombian government could be softer on the drug cartels and allow it to flow back into the US.

Our fruits, veggies, now coffee etc????great now we have to deal with crazy druggies cause they can't get their drugs, now we have the caffeine crazies too??? Hope you Mega nuts enjoy the bed you made

He should put tariffs on the drugs that get smuggled instead of legal goods ?

America should not have foreign nations who are aligned with drug cartels, manufacture American foods. China will up the slack.

Colombia will retaliate by flooding the US with drugs?

Columbia main export used to be illegal drugs.

Now Colombia will once again supply all types of drugs to the United States, tax-free.

Will the cartels and drug users pay the 25% tariffs? ? that would be lucrative……….
