Trump is a great big dumbass!\nTrump thought ? that Trump could just send the mass deportation aircraft!\nYou have to get permission from that government to land!\nYou don’t do that you are considered to be invading the country!\nYou have to file a flight ✈️ plan!\nI would know as I was involved in flight ✈️ operations in the United States ?? Air Force!\nYou don’t know what is in the aircraft!

The destiny of the United States to lock itself like imperial China behind a wall as Trump proposes will lead to ruin.

Great. We can cancel income taxes in the united states, and repay the national debt, end the drug wars, and deport criminals. Sounds like this is good. CNN is biased and really wants to manipulate this to be s bad thing.

It's not scary to have a trade embargo. Columbia? Idon't understand how they have a person on CNN trying to convince people that Latin American country is better than the United States. There is no Latin American country better than the United States.

Colombia's top exports to the United States are Crude Petroleum, Coal Briquettes, Coffee, Gold, and Refined Petroleum.

Not so sure the American dream is to break into the United States by sneaking over the border illegally and taking benefits in an unlimited way. How about congress starts taking a serious approach to creating an immigration policy codified in the form of a constitutional amendment that provides protections and benefits to the American citizens while simultaneously making the process more efficient and transparent. At the same time pass a law that requires the federal government and border states to cooperate and be funded to make the border airtight.

One reason why I didn't vote for this man he ?is closings all doors to all Americans passport holders ,now Colombia doors may be closed.The American Passport will be very weaker now, I wouldn't be able to travel any where The United States ?? is turning like North Korea because of President Trump .Not good I am screwed

Donal trump want to run the United States of America like a bissnes not like a country so the world get ready ????????

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......

The world will turn on Trump and America if they are not careful. The world will not be bullied. Could this be the beginning of the end for the United States influence? ??

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.

Trump just banned all imports of cocaine into the United States until the migrant plane issue is solved.

Trump preferred to distract people from inflation with talk of adding Greenland to the United States or seizing the Panama Canal.\n\n“It’s catnip and it causes everybody to stop paying attention to their actual economic agenda, which has nothing to do with lowering costs and everything to do with rigging the economy to help the Mar-a-Lago crowd

The United States should bill Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico for refusing to take their deportees after the U. S. has put them on flights.

It kills me that rather than these immigrants get together and stand up in their own countries to make their homelands better they rather come to the United States. The United States have fought wars on our homeland for our freedom and independence for our own ppl. War is bad but why not stay in your own country and fight for your land.

No coke for the United States ?

HEY COLOMBIA! 2024 UNITED STATES GDP = $ 29 TRILLION. THE MARXIST COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT THINKS HE'S RELEVANT.

Now Colombia will impose a 25% Tariff on of products exported to Colombia from the United States.....get ready for the depression ....

Trump is treating his country like his own business.\ni suspect he is trying to CRASH entire united states STOCK MARKET and all the businesses \n\nso that he can use his proxies to pick up all these businesses and buy stock at steep discount\ngiven he has the money and his immediate Musk is the richest person on earth. \nthey can ENRICH themselves but many many times. \nin the pretext of saving these companies.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are 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 am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. 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 I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From 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 imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

We don't need illegal migrants in the United States the United States will not tolerate gang members the government from those countries need to help them instead of pushing them away from the countries is there a governments are not very well established

Trump is very unpopular among the people in the United States, he doesn't have a lot of room to talk. He should be flown out of the country because he is a criminal.

Trump loves the United States and he will fix it no matter what. Making America Great Again

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.

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.

It's going to take all of the other countries to get people here in the United States to see the Donald Trump is no good

Why should this surprise us? That’s what a convicted Felon who is president of the United States is going to do. He’s an authoritarian and he thinks everything needs to be done his way. Well now we’re going to pay the price here come the tariffs.

The man does not listen to anyone. His hostility towards neighboring countries will force those countries to bring China and Russia closer. This action may lead to national security problems for the United States.

If crossing into the United States illegally is the American dream for these people they’re committing a felony and so disillusioned from the beginning. They cannot stay

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

It's the United States fault that people are coming in from these countries to begin with. That's what exploiting, sanctioning and sabotaging the entire global south will do.

This is according to CNN the most unrested media in the United States.

Our president of the United States Donald Trump is back. He’s a man of his word and he means what he says. If you’re legal you’re a citizen you’re not getting nothing from the government free he will not bother you but if you’re not, you better watch out cause he’s coming after you. He’s gonna look at after the US citizens, his families and their selves who’s worked all their life to make America a better place in a safe placeyou can best believe that

United States imports many products from Colombia, including crude oil, coffee, and cut flowers. The US also exports products to Colombia, including oil, corn, and electrical equipment. \nImports\nCrude oil: Colombia is a top ten supplier of crude oil to the United States. \nCoffee: A major export of Colombia. \nCut flowers: A major export of Colombia. \nAnimal, vegetable fats and oils: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nGlass and glassware: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nSoaps, lubricants, waxes, candles, modeling pastes: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nExports\nOil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nCorn: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nElectrical equipment and parts: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oilcake: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nThe United States and Colombia have a trade agreement that aims to improve the investment environment, eliminate tariffs, and expand trade.

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.

Time to change the name of Venezuela to Venezuela of the United States and start charging them with taxes to pay towards the United States.

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

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.

To all the nay sayers out there, Colombia just folded, and planes are now being allowed to land. See how the tariff tool works. The United States has the largest market in the world. Trump is the man, thank God for Trump.

It sure seems like this report is far more concerned about Colombia‘s autonomy and their ability to refuse an American military plane to land then they are with the United States’ ability to refuse illegal immigrants

Good goalie, they cleaned out their prisons and send them to United States and they don’t want them back hard to imagine

Good for Trump! Get those freeloaders out of the United States.
