So one of Trump's retaliatory responses is to punish any American company buying Columbian goods or parts. It will cause them to purchase those goods or parts elsewhere but where? Will Trump tariff them next? \nNothing like uncertainty of supply to keep American businesses running efficiently and on their toes.

In other words American corporations have been given the green light to raise the cost of GOODS AND IT will effect YOU SO CALLED TRUMP VOTER POCKETS...HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT YOU IDIOT$

“”Criminals trump calls them!!! Maybee some but mothers with kids that are to poor to feed there children are deported criminals in trumps and his billionaire friends minds!!!!! Trumps way or highway forget what’s written in the American constitution!!!! It’s all clear sailing for trump his space crazed friend \nElon can pay off any judicial system judge trump needs!!!!! Make trump great again!!!!!!!\nThis is a no win tariff stand off for any country including the USA!!!! Prices will rise in every country!!!!!

Trump and the American people are winning ??

Welcome to Trump's White Fascist American 2025. Trump has his national enemy, the immigrants just like Hilter created his enemy, the Jews. History repeats.

Very soon the american voters that vote for bully Trump .Will realicé the stupid desiccion that they make ...they don't understand what his food that they are eaten very soon Will be Discovery ...\nThe ignorance is bold...

Where will Trump send the American criminals ? Is mar a Lago large enough . It appears the only country in the world without their own criminals is US . What a paradise . The # 1 criminal is the President of USA .

Let Trump put on tariffs, it just costs Americans more

I disagree, he cannot allow these countries to take advantage of America. Columbia, Venezuela, quite a few of those countries open. No jails dumped the criminals in an American people. Now the refusing to take him back, but guess what? They will take him back. It's nothing wrong with Trump and acting. These terrorists, so you, you folks are wrong. As for the America and American people, so are you people? This bias is just plain wrong. You need to take an overall look at the situation. And where are the economics of America? The economy and everything is at in America. We can't keep supporting all these people. We don't have the money.

Colombia letting Trump know that he’s not running anything but his mouth. Trump’s response: cause prices to go up for the American taxpayer. Colombia: ????

Great! Trump is doing what true American's only dreamed of.

Felon and moron Trump doesn’t know that tariffs will raise costs to Americans!

So, trump hits american companies buying stuff from columbia with a tariff. Columbia does not pay the tariff and it is not going to affect anyone but the american consumer who the american companies, who paid the hidden tax he just imposes on us, the consumer, won't actually pay in the long run because that tariff just becomes part of their cost of goods that they will add to their sales prices.

They won't be the ones paying it, all in Americans will be paying it. You literally don't get any more stupid than Trump is.

Yes CNN WE have a real President now who loves America and Americans!!!!! 77 million Americans voted for him because we LOVE his policies!!!!!! CNN YOU ARE FAKE NEWS LIARS!!! Update your story Venezuela decided OK we will take them back in!!!! TRUMP is not playing around!!!! Bye Bye illegals!!!!! America first!!!!!????????????

I hope all countries will do a Colombia. Let's see how Americans are gonna pay for anything when Trump impose tariffs on every country in the world

It is rare that I find myself agreeing with Trump, but on this he is absolutely right. It shows that the Columbia President was like, we let Americans into our country. Because, why not right?

The international world is not going to be pushed around by Donald Trump. And the only person going to suffer is the American people. We're gonna pay for it.

You guys should all constantly refer to Donald with the title that he has earnt. \n\nConvicted Felon, Adjudicated Rapist, Insurrectionist, President Trump. \n\nYou Americans should never refer to him as just President Trump. \n\nCan you imagine if you all referred to him his earnt title, constantly, collectively. The effect would be delicious

Who the fuck does Trump think he is?I hope every Sth American country tells him to fuck off.Whats he going to do.Take on the world?

TAKE YOUR PRISONERS BACK COLUMBIA. These Countries knew what Trump's plan, said they would take them back, then won't let the planes land. So yeah, tariff the sh*it out of them. I'll pay a little more (like I have been for four years) to get our Country back. Americans first!!!

Every Latin American country, most be join BRICS and get away from the USA, Trump must be left alone by all of us, and us have to be united. he is a traitor, that will turn against all of us at some point. this is the time to act.

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

Trump is gonna end up costing American's a lot more money if he keeps threatening tariffs, the tariffed company/country doesn't pay for the tariff's, the end consumer does!

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.

Columbia subsidized the United States with billions in 2024. America needs to stop depending on the charity of other nations and stand on her own. Without Latin American subsidies amounting to over 100 billion each year America would be a failed state. Donald Trump told Claudia Sheinbaum this when he met wth her late in 2024.

America stands as the last empire on Earth, remaining the only one that dominates every corner of the globe and can reach any land or sea with remarkable speed. Most Americans are hardworking individuals living paycheck to paycheck, and about 80% lack a passport because they cannot afford to travel abroad. These individuals are loving, caring, and humble. America is already great enough, yet everyday folks never truly experience that greatness. Why does Mr. Trump strive to make America even greater? Because the American ruling elites suffer from a brain virus known as «hubris»!

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

Thank u trump keep up the great work and Americans 1st

Yes, people need to talk about the fact that Trump is not allowing anymore visas into the country at all. That's gonna be seen as extremely racist and clearly an attempt at not having anymore South Americans in the country with the exception of those here and they have families elsewhere and that will force them to leave. No more workers, no more imports for cheap ever again. It's only for the rich and most of his supporters are clearly not rich. Horrible choice this country has made and fatal mistake that will cost Americans more money. That's called Karma indeed.

President Donald Trump is doing a great job for the American people ❤

Punishing Americans for the government not allowed the plane to land trump is unconditionally discharged like the bat shit crazy man he is

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.

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do on the campaign trail. The majority of Americans are thrilled. This is what the majority voted for. One would think a non biased media ownership would have gotten the message? I guess once you have dug your own grave deep enough there is no climbing out for CNN. What a shame!

Make shit more expensive for Americans!!!!!!! That'll show em trump you fuckin idiot

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...

Americans like having coffee, thanks trump, way to bring down houshold expenses

CNN can’t help but embarrass themselves with their Trump hatred. They are claiming that Trumps threats against Columbia could hurt American citizens while the Colombian president has already given in to Trumps demands.

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!!!

felon trump still don't understand tariffs, americans will pay more for goods, better quit drinking coffee

Trump makes Americans pay more for food to punish Columbia? Awesome.

Coffee, cocoa, esmeralds, brown sugar, fruits, vegetables, electrical equipment, plastic and more.. there you go Americans go thank your God Trump for making your life great again. \n\nAlso have a great Valentine’s Day celebration with the flowers and roses coming from my country. 25%

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.

LMAO Trump = total lunatic in charge of the United States that he will dismantle over the next four years or less. So glad I'm not an American and will never visit the worlds newest fascist state. Sorry folks, you voted for this very, very sick man and now you're about to pay the price.

A dramatic response from Trump is inevitable; this signals deterrence to other South American nations.

Please let’s all encourage tariffs on Trumps America. I’m British and won’t buy American

4 more years!!! Finally we have a Real Leader in the Oval Office! Americans should make their own coffee! This is a wake up call for all other counties that the Adults are back in the White House. \nLet’s go Trump????

Are you guys aware that every time Trump talks about imposing a tariff, it's essentially a tax on the American consumer? So much for his famous tax cuts—LOL!

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??
