How is it possible that they are saying deportation numbers were higher during Biden administration, yet we have been faced with the worst immigration crisis in the history of our country? Also, I would never want to sour any relationship with any country but I solute our President for being a nonsense approach and defend his country from criminals. My God, can you imagine what scum we had amongst us, if even their country doesn’t want them. I can live without Colombian food. They can stuff it up where the sun doesn’t shine. I’m only heartbroken for the people who have families there who will now suffer because they’re communicating and visiting will be greatly affected. And this is why Trump calls these assholes terrorists. Because of these assholes families are held hostage by not being allowed to have physical contact with each other.

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.

Tariffs hurt the US economy your banana will now cost the consumer 5 dollars pound he and he (trump) can fix it alone

China says thank you very much!! Soon we will be surrounded by counties turning to China as a trading partner instead of the US. Trump will make China the Super Power as we become a third world shithole.

RUBIO NEEDS TO TALK TO US \n((THE PEOPLE))\nCOME TO HAVE LUNCH WITH US?\nTHE POEOLE WE NEED YOU TO TELL EL SSAVADOR GOVERMENT THEY NEED TO A TOP THE STEALING OUR TAXES A ND START SHOWING ACCOUNTS WITH ALL THE EXPENCES AND SHOW ALL US WHAT THE $$$ IS BEING SPEND ON.

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

Everyone wake up Colombia gave up already so they wouldn’t receive tariffs from us another win for America and Trump

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...

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!

It’ll take years for the US to recover diplomatically from Trump.

More higher prices for US consumers. They and US importers are going to be filling up the US treasury pretty quickly as Trump keeps imposing more and more tariffs. While his clueless supporters keep believing his idiotic lie that foreign companies pay this tariff tax. Of course while the average consumer keeps paying up, there's more money for Trump to cut taxes for his rich friends, himself included.

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

This is what Trump was haired too do. The majority of American voters are fed up with other countries running over us and the taxpayers footing the bill.

Trump is for the people of the US. We had a president that was not for the people . Trump is tough and he will not take this. To the president of colombia your people came into the US illegally. The people who r known criminals r the ones being deported.

CNN, as usual, distorting the facts in an effort to manipulate/brainwash their viewers. There was NOT 271,000 deportations by ICE under Biden in 2024. That figure reflects the people who were already AT the border, and then detained/sent back. The figures Trump's Admin released are the number of illegals that ICE actually rounded up within the US... and the reason there were so many illegals AT the border under Biden is because under his pathetic Administration the border was wide-open. That's NOT the case under Trump, who immediately shut down the border. CNN is pure GARBAGE. They, like all the illegals, should be deported as well!!

Good for you trump !!! How is it wrong to send back criminals back to country of orgin . Yes raise tariffs !!!! They need us more then we need them !!! Others countries will fill the void !!! Stop being scared of tariffs when you run the show you control the long game .

UPDATE: After President Trump SLAMMED Colombia with sanctions, Colombian President Gustavo Petro now says he will be sending the presidential plane to pick up deportees from the US, per CNN\n\nThat didn’t take long! ?\n\nTHIS is what strong leadership looks like. America is back. Let that sink in! Other counties actually respect strength and not just a “don’t” ??‍♂️?

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.

It appears CNN is having difficultes keeping up with Trump so here's the current scoop... Pesident Gustavo has already folded and even offered his presidential plane to help deport Colombian citizens from the US. For the other countries who thinks President Trump is playing games, his message is simple, it's four letters: FAFO!

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

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.

Trump should raise %25 on petroleum product so that the US citizen are paying for it

So if the c-17's are 3 times the cost of civilian airliners, just send them back on civilian airliners, what's the problem there? Seems an easy fix and I as a tax payer don't want to pay 3 times more when it can be done cheaper. I Thought Trump was a businessman and knew about economics? I guess he's not interested in keeping it cheaper for us citizens. Furthermore if he tariffs China we are all in big trouble.

Trump is isolating the US from the rest of the world so that he can molest us... wake up!

CNN “racist Trump tariffs Columbia” reality: Columbia, Panama, Venezuela, Mexico, Guatemala caused this crises by being corrupt and running their countries into the ground due to greed, and letting their poor walk into the US, blame the countries these people came from for being corrupted and irresponsible

This is so stupid, if trump’s solution to international affairs is to imposed tariffs on the countries who don’t bend to his will, most countries will be smart and form an alliance to just cut the u.s. out and spread the wealth within that alliance. Trump is going to lose all of our trade partners, and bring us to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

The Colombian president was claiming that migrants are welcome back as long as they are not treated as criminals since they are not criminals. Entering the US illegally is a civil offense like passing red light but not a criminal offense under US law. So then he said he could send his own plane and make sure that those people are not handcuffed and treated with dignity in their arrival, since Trump was treating them as criminals. It is not like some here are saying that the tariff threat caused him to back off, it was just a point of being treated fairly since they are not criminals.

Trump is teaching the rest of the world that the only way to deal with him is for them to collectively isolate and destroy the economy of the USA. Trump thinks he can force HIS agenda on other sovereign nations. This will not end well for us.

Trump is a fool, a convicted felon who is destroying the US reputation.

It sucks I Donald Trump continues to create enemies with our neighbors. I don’t see this as a positive outcome at all because he might need our neighbors at some point in time and they’re not gonna be there to help us. It’s gonna be like a slap in our faces And they’re not taking the deport back in Columbia that he sent over there. The people’s dignities was taken away from them. They came there all handcuffed, and and he treated them in a very degrading way according to the report that I read to the Midas touch and it’s just awful

The reason they don't want them back is they mostly came from Jails and prisons. They were not sending their best and brightest. They need us far more than we need them.\nGood job, doing what you said you would. Thanks Trump.

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.

Trump is only setting up U.S.A to be the whole world enemy. Imagine these South America and Central America countries expelled America Military Bases and allow Russia and China to open bases all their missles points at us. Congress do something about Trump before it is too late.

UPDATE: After President Trump announced emergency sanctions, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has generously offered his presidential plane to facilitate the repatriation of deportees from the US.\nAmerica will no longer suffer fools.

Trump is such a moron. They shouldn't say the tariffs are on Columbia. They don't pay them. They should say Trump punishes US taxpayers with tariffs on Columbia that are passed onto us.

So, tRump way on governing is to threaten everyone that doesn't agree with him isn't that the approach of a dictator. But the tariffs are going to HURT US the American consumers not the other countries.

Trump is going to impoverish the USA with all these tariffs. The US citizen just won't want to pay the prices that are now being asked for imported goods that cannot be purchased from local sources. (And the price of locally sourced goods will also shoot up because of higher demand). Well done Trump, you are only punishing your own citizens with tariffs and they will hate you for it.

Excellent President Trump, This communist and criminal Colombian president does not want their co-nationals criminals back. Horrible. Triple the tariffs, stop the import of flowers and coffee, next close the embassy and stop all visas to the US.

All this means is that USA consumers pay more for whatever Colombia exports and what consumers will need ( supermarket food produce for example) ?? It does not help US farmers who cannot deliver to super markets their field produce because Trump is deporting workers who go into the fields whom primarily collect it !!!\nTrump is basically taxing the US consumers and pushing prices up !! The US importer pays the tariffs (US customs tax at port of entry) whom then passes it onto the consumer !!\nThe consumer can of course not purchase the product which would hurt Colombia exports; the importers would have to hurriedly find another source whom would probably also increase their price because of demand.\nTrump is a loser and always will be; his businesses are mostly failures; even casinos !!

I think Columbia should load all the US ex-pats onto airplanes and send them back to their country. Trump can figure out what to do with 30,000 people of his own. All countries that he threatens should do the same. A sudden influx of people with no jobs and no homes to go to, should help the American economy as much as Trump dropping migrants off is doing to these countries.

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

Both sides lack enormous diplomatic skills. Trump is sending migrants back enchained which is is humanly degrading, and Petro is handling it like a toddler as well, knowing a lot of people depend on exports to the US.

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!!!

Trump is not here to play. the government will not take their own people but want the US to keep them

⚠️update NY Post : Colombian President Gustavo Petro quickly reversed course about accepting flights of deported migrants from the US after President Donald Trump threatened emergency tariffs of up to 50% on the South American country for refusing to cooperate.

The entire world is uniting against Trump and the US. He is insane, and America is about to face the harsh reality that reelecting a farking lunatic to be the president has consequences.

BREAKING UPDATE: After President Trump announced emergency sanctions, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has generously offered his presidential plane to facilitate the repatriation of deportees from the US.\nAmerica will no longer suffer fools.?????
