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

I'm sorry to all the Colombians that are watching this \nThere's a reason why we want these people as allies\nDoes anybody remember the Cold War

Trump has made more enemies in an Olympic record time. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland. Colombia, Panama. Apparently Pretty soon the US will have no allies in the whole AMERICA..

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

Pushing another country in the arms of China. All US allies will start edging their bets. Why be loyal to a so-called ally who does not respect me, consistently threatens me, has a mood swing of african buffalo?

Sovereign notions make sovereign decisions. Good for Columbia. They can join Mexico, Canada, Denmark, EU, Panama, Australia as allies. Bye bye America. We don’t need you. Such stupidity. Enjoy your isolationist poverty. Your choice.

Others nation is not like you, racism isnt what they are about, that just your hangup.Stand strong our Allies, this too shall pass

Congratulate Trump for being the #1 BRICS SALESMAN OF THE year. Colombia wanted their people to arrive with dignity. Not like criminals. Trump is attacking his own allies. Because he's a child. Trump is attacking his own alliances while BRICS is build up their manufacturing alliances.

After less than one week in office, how many leaders of other countries has Trump managed to piss off? Stay tuned for more from the self-proclaimed anti-war prez. If he keeps this up, we'll end up being at war with half the world & with no allies.

You work with other countries & they work with you. Act like you're a mob boss threatening allies & kissing enemies asses & the rest of the world is going to get it's back up & fight back. Columbia just wasn't playing the game of the strongman look Trump was trying by sending a military plane instead of a passenger plane.

As an Australian, I can't wait until he decides to impose tariffs on our exports.\n\nThe US quickly losing any allies. What's that now, Canada, all of South and Central America, Denmark.\n\nYou guys in the media over there turning a blind eye to his actions should be worried. Soon he will turn on you too.

Pixel brained Trumpers: Your orange dictator better watch it, or he will have no allies. We are not afraid of this bully, and collectively, countries are uniting. Have fun with the tariffs, because you reap what you sow. CNN you suck. Almost as bad as Fox.

Bully your allies and they will cut ties. Shocker. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes lol.

FYI Petro is a de facto ally of socialist dictator Maduro

Make China Great Again.deporting 5% of the work force and putting high tariffs on allies ! Fafo soon . But the eggs.....??????

The US’s biggest ally in South America, the biggest market for US agricultural products, and there’s China waiting in the wings. And all it required was a respectful conversation. What a complete idiot. And you Americans were stupid enough to vote for him.

In 4 years there are no more allies left for the us if trump continues like this ? but hey china is happy

The orange man is going to make America the enemy of our Allies!

well... if he carries on, all other countries in the world will ally with each other against the US economically and then Trump can cry! I can imagine a world wild economical embargo against US until Trump is replaced.

We just angered our ally countries in one week (Mexico, Canada, Spain, Greenland, Panama, Colombia). I wouldnt be surprised if some of these countries start ditching the US dollar and head over to Briccs (which already has 41% of the global population).

Columbia are our friends and close allies , someone needs to stop tr$mp from hurting the USA's friends

OK....... SO THIS DUDE ISN'T IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR A WEEK, AND HE'S PICKING FIGHTS WITH EVERYONE. INCLUDING SEVERAL ALLIES. I'M SURE THIS WILL HELP THOUGH RIGHT? GREAT JOB MAN, DEFINATELY A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL TO SEE, REFLECTING ON MANY AMERICANS. THIS IS AWESOME. THE MOST SELFISH, IMMATURE, IDIOTIC, SELF ABSORBED, NARCISSISTIC, ARROGANT, DULL , SMALL MINDED PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN IN GOVERNMENT PERIOD. ME, AND MANY OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS ARE BESIDE OURSELVES WITH EMBARRASSMENT. NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF OUR MANY WAYWARD FELLOW AMERICAN ADULT CHILDREN VOTING FOR THIS TRAIN WRECK. JUST SUPER STUPID. I MEAN, UNBELIEVABLE STUPIDITY.

Gee. Let’s abuse our relationships with allies. Somehow I think another power like China will be happy to step in and fill the vacuum we leave.

Bro colombia is our ally

The US is not going to have any friends, allies or customers shortly. And this is all going to be self-inflicted.

nazis start wars with their allies

That goes to show how dumb this mf is. You can't just round up people and dump them elsewhere like trash. There are protocols for these things. He's gonna ruin relationships with all of our allies.

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

Colombia is a US ally! What is he doing! Why is he friendly with America's enemies (Russia, China, North Korea) and why is he hostile to all of America's allies (Denmark, Panama, Ukraine, France, Colombia, Canada, Mexico, etc)

What did trump think the world is gonna bow down nope they got brics once trump started threatening the world with tarriffs are allies and enemies ran to brics are sanctions mean nothing on world stage anymore we are laughing stock of the world real talk

America is burning so many allies. How many 'friends' will the US have in a month's time.

Trump... I fix everything, me Tariff all, yes good plan me smart... enemy... ally... me no care... fxck all who don't like god trump

I mean, we can do America First, but man, oh man, is it going to push our historical allies into the arms of others. China is loving this right now.

Where our beef mainly comes from .. let's make our allies mad and make our prices for beef up by 25%

So how is tarrif diplomacy making America great again? Threatening allIes is only kneecapping our standing in the world.

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS INCOMPLETE REPORTING: The President of Colombia clearly said he would accept deportees IF they arrive on a passenger plane as has always been done and which costs less than half of the expense of a military plane. The problem is the United State’s insistence on using military planes. I swear folks, it’s just getting started: threatening to invade Panama, the closest ally in Latin America, threatening the prime minister of Denmark, a historic ally. Anyone remember Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland?

Trump came in with THIS ( “YOU DO AS I SAY OR ELSE ATTITUDE “) THIS ISNT HOW YOU GAIN OR MAKE ALLIES. Trump is abusing the presidency and those foolish but kissers are letting him do it.

Columbia? Good lord, they are great allies of the US. How many new enemies can Trump gain from allies in less than two weeks? So far it's Denmark, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Egypt, Jordan and now Columbia.

Trump is going crazy...allies will become enemies

Someone please makes sense of this for me. I'm placing a tariff on Columbian goods because i couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone and work with my allies? I'm raising prices by 25% on OIL, COFFEE and PETROL which will raise prices for the very voters i promised on day 1 to lower their living costs.\nSomeone please make sense of these opposing contradictions please. Does anyone actually believe he's so stupid as to still not fully grasp and comprehend that a tariff is a DOMESTIC direct consumer tax and the exporting country doesn't pay a copper penny to the US treasury? \nTrump's policies are to remove cheap labour from the country, while raising prices on every product coming into the USA . This is the moronic insanity MAGA voted for and millions of Dems stayed at home to not vote against. What a monumental mess in a week. Encore.

Columbia is no kind of threat to the US. Trump is far to weak to face our enemies and too stupid to face our allies.

USA isn't going to have any allies in the next month at this rate. You need to remove Trump with the 25th amendment fast.

Come on guys impeach this Maniac there are no allies left in America

This guy is going to make lots of allies worldwide…????

Encima de todo son abusive y no respetan nada. Alli demuestran a lo que vienen.

Surly Canada could purchase patrol helicopters from allies in Europe.

Canada unless you want strained relations with your biggest ally

Nobody wants to take them in even their own allies

its because they are racist... imagine US, UK, etc grants no visa on their former enemies (like Japan) but demands for visa entry for their former colonies? you cant deny that these former imperialists sees former colonized countries as lint and does not contribute to their economy.... they stole billions of dollars in the past and at they could've grant visa free entry to their former colonies as a way of compensation to the damages that they've made in the past but they didnt.. and when war broke up, they'll ask from these former colonized countries for some soldier to be on the frontline for them because they were allies.. until now they still do some exploits to colonized counties in some other way like establishing manufacturing plant or some establishment hiring cheap labor from these countries, and when you want to visit to these counties they will automatically deny you.. On some point, China gives a better option. They will welcome you with open arms (although they will take advantage of you) but at least you can visit their country easily.

Secure your borders by all means...it's your sovereign right. But also make sure you or your allies are not a reason for political instability in their country
