So every time Trump doesn’t get his way he takes it out on the American people. I guess that’s what America first means.

According to the NYT and Washington Post, Trump's punishment is much more drastic than this CNN video protrays due to the nature of Colombian economy and exports. Colombia is gonna get crushed if this continues. \n\nColombia is nuts for taking on Trump, what did they think Trump was gonna do to them? Flowers and food can be easily imported from other countries. And Trump loves to make an example out of people.

The only thing we get from Columbia is Colombians. They know that trump is holding the trump card.

They need to receive their nationals.. Petro its just looking any issue to get into an argument with Trump. All this mess is also Petro’s fault allowing people to cross illegally to other countries. If we are going to take care of the Colombian nationals that comes with a price tag.. sorry we already paid enough for illegal immigrants!!

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

Trump is blowing smoke out his butt to try and keep you maga dummies off guard for telling you what he was going to do to get America back on track wake up

Trump is working damn hard to get democrates elected in 2026

Retaliation? He told everyone what he would do. Columbia wants to play stupid games, so they’re getting stupid prizes. They made their choice so trump is doing what he said he would. That’s not retaliation, that’s a leader keeping his promise

I just Hope we can fix all Trumps Crap after we get rid of him. Joe had to fix his crap, now the next leader of the free world will have to fix HIS BULLY ASS CRAP!!!!!

Sounds like Trump's border policy is working quite well!!! They are going back before they even get here.. That's what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOO TRUMP!!! you are the F88king man!!

So trump really could care less that we the citizens of United States will have to pay for it. You can’t get any more stupid than that.

As an independent about time we have back bone in the White House. Trump is getting it done! Biden was ok with governments sending their criminals to the US! Shame on him for allowing this

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

Biden wouldn’t have done this. Thank you Trump. Already getting things done. ??

Best thing Trump's done so far. I'm all for it. CNN get lost with your biased propaganda.

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...

Get on the Trump train you dumb left wing gronks ???

Hey cnn! Hows about finding out why trump turned on his buddy putin? Could ut be that after putin helped put him back in office like all those maga folks trump is doing the same.to all the maga's and bending thrm over with out lube! Just like trumps doing eith all of us! And news outfits like you and abc, nbc and the rest dose! Like gun violince! Aka school shootimg quit giving these sick folks thier 15 minutes of fame! Dont say the names and i bet they well quit vause they wont get the rushbfrom becoming famous! Hmmm!

Don't say Trump is anti-Woke. I heard that if Venezuela doesn't take their people back, Maduro will get gender surgery by an Aegis missile.

Trumps tantrums are so funny. Like a spilled child. Oh wait....... maybe he just needs a diaper change. Get on it Vance.....

All about using money as a way of negotiating.\nMakes him feel powerful. Countries will get disgusted with Trump's threats and they will do business elsewhere\nBet Russia would appreciate more business

So Trump’s throwing all the immigrants back into Mexico, so is Mexico gonna get all the Americans out of Mexico the ones that are living over there back into the United States

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!!!

CNN you are not getting it yet. We the PEOPLE are behind President Trump. We abhor your network. Your lies don’t work anymore.

Columbia won’t mess with us where everything to them if it wasn’t for us they’d still be running around in grass skirts just like China was before we came in and helped them look. We’re a superpower. These people shut up and do what we say or else we’ll take everything they have away from them just like we did the Indians.. make no mistake this president is not playing games. He’s come back with 50 Cent attitude and he’s gonna be petty? everybody that tried to take him out is gonna get it?? go Trump

The United States does not make squat. We get much of our coffee, oil and some food products from Columbia. Trump, to quote Sean Connery, brought a knife to a gun fight.

Way to go Trump! He's already getting these criminals off our streets and out of our country and he hasn't even been in office a week.

Nice to get a look at the dumbest immigrant of all time. Waited until Trump's Inaguration day to decide to illegaly immigrate to the US. Hopefully his buddies give him shit for years over this move.

RETURN TO SENDER, \nBUT SENDER REFUSED?\nNo wonder Trump is right to get em out!\nImagine Columbia paying to return Americans it denied entry, only to have USA refuse to them to come home! \nTrump is right that many countries are taking advantage of America!

WE PAY FOR TARIFFS!!!!! THE GOODS ARE PAID FOR IN FULL WITH NO TARIFFS ADDED TILL THEY GET TO US AND WE PAY THE DIFFRENCE!!! TRUMP HAS ZERO CLUE.

Columbia understands how tarrifs work because they are a tarrif country...Trump is doing the equivelent of holding his own breath til he gets his way...

Trump is standing on business!! ?Get yo people

RESIST AND SAY NO TO TRUMP! We need to get him OUT! If this isn't a dictator, I don't know what is! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!??

Good for you Trump bad for United States are you happy you getting what you want prices is not going down Trump

Get ready for a Trump induced DEPRESSION

I get that alot of republicans are happy trump is showing that the United States finally has someone who will not mess around but do they also realise if we turn our backs on most of our allies (which elon and trump HAVE threatned on nato and UK) then we will just be fighting the entire world at that point and we all know we cant fight every other country alone

My only question is, especially with the Trump regime in power, why would you want to?\n\nThe second you get caught, you're getting sent back anyway. Im sorry folks, but theres nothing here for you

Trump ! The rest of you get out of the way. ?

Trump should send his Proud Boys/Blackshirts down there to get them.

This is going to be fun: ~25% of crops may be lost due to migrants staying home instead of risking getting caught in the fields, another chunk of crops in California may be lost to contamination by the giant battery fire from two weeks ago, and Felon Trump is slapping tariffs on a bunch of countries the USA will need to offset that food production deficit.

Trump is just reckless. Too lazy for proper diplomacy so basically just say tariffs, tariffs, tariffs.. even if it hobbles the US economy. Get ready for labor shortages and more inflation.

( YALL GETTING READY TO SEE THOSE CRYING AMERICANS WHO SAY “ THE FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING OUR JOBS “ OKAY THE JOBS ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE FOR YOU NOW GET OUT THERE AND WORK THOSE JOBS YOU CLAIM FOREIGNERS ARE TAKING . AMERICA GET READY FOR A FOOD SHORTAGE NOW AND TRUCKERS THERES \nGONNA BE SHORTAGE ON LOADS ALSO. Trump is\n Messing up something that helped America thrive for all these\n Many many many years. So now to you who were crying the foreigners taking our jobs OKAY THEY ARE GONE SO NOW THE JOBS ARE GONNA BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU LETS SEE IF THESE AMERICANS GET OUT AND NOW DONT THE WORK THE FOREIGNERS WERE DOING.

TRUMPS GETS SHIT DONE.... THEY ALREADY CAVED AND ARE SENDING PLANES TO PICK THEM UP?

Idiots are idiots and Trump is #1 you are getting an idea of how bad things are going to get under Orange man but you voted for it now enjoy your 20 dólar late at starbucks and your ten dóllar eggs and all you who get food stamps better Find work i heard farmers want pickers

Trump sure does like the limelight. Former leaders get the job done without the need to draw attention to themselves. 4:37 - last year Biden averaged more than 5000 deportations per week. Last week T deported 2600.

Get ready for inflation that will make the last three years look like a warm up. If Trump taxes Canada and Mexico you will see $10 gas just for starters.

Trump doesn’t care if food prices go up for Americans. As long as McDonalds doesn’t go out of business and he can still go get his daily Big Mac, he could care less.

All the energy that is going to deporting people. Hopefully someone will do the cost-benefit. Seems like a major waste of time. Imagine if the Border Bill had been passed in 2024 and by now we could have had this all under organized control without all of this spending so much money, time and effort in rounding people up and deporting them. Add to all of that the cost of tariffs that Trump is putting on Columbia and I expect others in the coming weeks and months. What a waste. Trump also not getting this whole thing organized which is the major direction we have to go in the final analysis.

People in these comments are on some serious copium. Y’all actin like coffee prices are gonna be a big problem because you have nothing negative to say about what Trump did. Like y’all give a shit when you go to Starbucks and spend $8 on a coffee already, or is it more? This hurts then more than it would hurt us btw, that’s why they folded so easily. Trump knew they would fold easily. Btw we can get coffee somewhere else if you truly need coffee to love you can probably drink espresso too. I buy a brand imported from Italy

They're joining BRICS. What do they need from the US? NOTHING! \n\nBut I'm relieved that at least the wealthy will afford to buy their coffee and bananas. tRump voters nevah get tired of winning. Yah!!!
