First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

32% of the U.S. military are minorities. 17% are female. Transgender, .7%. (2022 numbers. Best I could find.) Math says that is half of our forces. Including Puerto Ricans & Indigenous. None of Trump’s family line have ever served this country. Thank whatever you hold dear that so many who still don’t get adequate representation or respect still believe in the idea of this nation to put their lives on the line to protect it. Thank you to EVERY service member for your service. You are all truly the best.

Trump is wrong on this one. We should support our brave men and women protecting the country and fighting our enemies

This is the chaos and anarchy that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have left for Trump. BTW, you don’t cross the border of any other big country like this. This drama happens only on the United States border.

The one thing i agree strongly with this guy even tho he is full of empty promises might get more done with congress on his side this time but too many immigrant in our country too my city is unrecognisable and i am serious its getten even a bit intimiditing tje hatred undercurrent in our city these foreigners hate our guts and its our country and we are called the hater its our help and support that is less and less our nhs overrun we sont get the services we arw due because there are too many immigrants in our countries it SIMPLE do not take ordainary people as idiots and produce all this flannel about being humanist charity begjns at home these are prinicipals our grandparents installed in us doesnt me we are unkinnd or wouldnt help anyone but tjeres a limit i feel intimidated daily by foreingers and im a hater for such remarks aye right who are you politicians kidding no wonder trump has such a following even tho i am not a fan of the man but he is bang on here

I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

I am first generation in the U.S.. My Parents and grandparents came here in the 50’s LEGALLY. They started working, received no government aid and assimilated into the American culture. What we are seeing today is a travesty caused by and condoned by the Democrats. No country on earth does this. The Democrats are criminals.

These people were given orders to charge the boarder by Soros and Obama - they have sleeper cells all over the country and will provoke each one on command. Why is this reporter surprised? Does she not know about Benghazi? Come on lady - wake up! Soros and Obama need to find another job - they are washed up and pathetic.

This exact reason is why I don't care if the Colombian president was upset about us flying illegals from his country on military planes, even if they were handcuffed and shackled. If every other country is allowed to deport illegals why can't we?\n\nIf us sending illegals back to their home countries makes their governments upset then so be it, Mexico literally lets a whole bunch of them flood into our country and does nothing about it. I have nothing against immigrants, but when you decide to move here to the US you do it the legal way.

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

Donald trump is making America the most hated country on the continent at this point, let's hope that what he is doing brings good results ?

The first thing Obama did after becoming president was to visit Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to be lectured on how to run a progressive socialist country. Chavez was his hero and model. Chavez looted his once rich country. Is this what the Dems. Want for the US?

The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

Everybody has some sort Internet connection. They need to look up what Tariffs are. When Trump was campaigning he said he was going to put a 25% tariff in China and all of his supporters cheered and clapped ! I’m sitting here going don’t they know that that increase cost is going to be pushed down to the consumer?!?!! It’s the everyday American who is going to end up paying that 20% 25% increased in cost!!! it’s going to affect our living standards and not in a good way! Not the wealthy people in this country who Trump says he’s going to protect because they’re his friends! I don’t get it! Trump is sitting here, threatening to put tariffs on all the countries that’s not doing what he wants them to do! And people cheer! Unless you’re the wealthy, you’re gonna be screwed with the cost-of-living that’s gonna be reflected in those tariffs!!

This has gone on for too long and now people think it's ok. You can't do this in China or any other 1st world country. They should build a wall and electrical wall that is monitored by drones 24/7 and we need at least, 3000 troops and agents with equipment there at all times. W at least another 10k members of national guard on the ready

This is what happens when you let them just come on in since 1987.Few people know how this all started, or who started it .These people simply wouldn't even show up if we did one simple thing. Require anybody who's not born here to have a valid passport and visa on them to not only enter the country, but to do ANYTHING else too .

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My wife and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on my pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

Where are the soldiers!!!!!! They need to take action. This is like enemies attacking our country. This sure wouldn't go on in the 1800s

What year was this???? Shame on people that don't check sources and info. Where is your critical thinking people??? They are falsifying a crisis at the border to distract from the real danger, the orange Jesus ransack of the country, you guys are being played.

Interesting how CNN and MSNBC NEVER reported on the border invasion for the past 4 years under Biden regime who opened borders and even flew illegals into our country without any vetting. This is why we have more crime and also the cost to taxpayers to feed house educate and provide healthcare to them. Funny how they are showing it now. CNN was part of the problem covering up for Biden mafia.

This is how you run a country .. the balls on Trump are exactly what we need . We need him for the next 20 years

This all smells like a false flag orchestrated by DNC Major donors, to ultimately have migrants severely injured or worse by our Border Patrol. As a result, Trump will labeled a Dictator who holds no regard to the lives of innocent Loving migrants. We need the Military and the entire US Homeland to build a wall. If not President Trump is going to call on every Citizen to stop this invasion at the Southern border, to prevent a collapse of our Country. Either we our Troops and homeland stop this invasion, or we will become Europe with no border and no walks. It may very come down to the Patriots of our Great ??

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

What in the sweet freshwater port is this Russian bots don’t understand how tariffs on goddamn Colombia is a stupid idea hell if then Colombia will just turn to trading it to other countries or joining brics if America is that unstable as a country why bother with them

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......

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.

Dude the country is already poor, wtf is this guy doing\nBeing president doesn't mean playing conquest on day one

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.

Funny how on J6 they were rioters who invaded the capitol and were violent offenders that needed to be looked up for the rest of their lives even though they were provoked by the left . And then they show this footage and call them migrants just trying to get into the country rather than calling it an invasion of dangerous people that are literally assaulting the police This is exactly why nobody likes the main stream media And the rules for the but not for me hypocrites that lie

The reporter misdirected the whole story. The story was about tariffs and their effects on both the U.S. consumers and the public as well as the country of Colombia. The story is not about how people planning to come to to the U.S. feel, even though that is of interest. This is an example of how the media and reporters miss the point. Bad journalism.

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

Rising prices for Americans on even more products because a country doesn't want unauthorized military planes coming into their country. Trump is the worst president this country has ever seen beating only himself as the 2nd worst president in his first term. Lower case p in president international because he doesn't deserve the reverence the proper title brings.

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. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. 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. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM 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 impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

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. \n \nPetro not only acquiesced to Trump’s demands, he even offered up the official Colombian presidential plane to help shuttle migrants back to the country, calling it a response to “the Government’s commitment to guarantee decent conditions.”\n\nThe extreme left is very unhappy about this decision?

Trump is going ruin the US and isolate the country from the civilized world. The executive order to put a yellow patch on all that don’t applaud him will come soon. But the rest of the world will stand up to this bully

Colombia knows his game if they accept he will sill slap tariffs. Those are used for running a business not the country threatening other countries and demanding war. Narcissist violent psychopath behavior ?no one is doing shit about this he is tryna get richer for himself demanding other countries to pay him. Lying to his supporters by raising prices on them on everything.

No. Military planes is threatening to any country!Colombia doesn't like the president sending them on military planes. He said he will accept the colombians if they are transferred in the normal planes migrants have always came back on. Actually the military planes cost us tax payers 20,000 a flight per hour. The traditional planes cost 8000. So just stick to the normal planes and everyone wins. It really is,all silly. Stupid news. Let's put some regulations on real estate market. So tired of drug money laundering used to buy homes and I cannot afford a home. This is just trump tv unnecessary drama!

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?

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.

Bottom line is that American consumers will pay for this action. The smart thing would be to establish a protocol for these flights returning. The country receives notification with names, stats and photos. \nIts represent a diplomatic solution so both the United States and Columbia can process. Now the returned planes with those illegals land back here a nd we will house and feed them for months at tax payer expense!!!!! Plus now a conference of all Latin American will probably refuse any flights to a diplomatic solution occurs!!!! If extremes continue we could endanger our businessman conducting business in these countries!!! Stupid as stupid does!!!!! Plus in most cases the product with tariff is being produced with an American partner!!!! The banana production companies are american owned or have a large vested investment!!!! So there profits will fall and they are traded on the NYSE affecting investors here state side!!!! Rise the prices here on our imported fruit and coffee. !!!! Stupid. Stupidity

Dear GOD, through the power of your only begotten SON JESUS and the Virgin Mary, please lift the DELUSION from these people of good will (2 Thessalonians 2-man of lawlessness) and let them wake up to the fact that Trump is not the man they think he is! He is against all that is TRUE and HOLY and will lead this great country to destruction. He is a son of Satan (father of all lies). He claims he is the CHOSEN ONE, but he behaves in the opposite manner of what JESUS would do (anti-Christ). He loves only himself! He claims to love the Holy Bible yet cannot recite one verse of scripture! Jesus warned us of the false prophets, and messiahs that would come after HIM deceiving even the elect of GOD! Trump is one such FALSE MESSIAH. Satan (ruler of THIS world) has given his son immense power to deceive men's minds, and GOD is allowing us to be punished for the sin of ELECTIVE abortion We need to REPENT, PRAY and RENEW our trust in JESUS CHRIST and his Mother Mary and follow them, carrying our cross on the road that will lead us back to the FATHER! AMEN - JOHN 3:16!

If another country did this to the US, a nuclear strike would be on the table. What the actual fuck? This is insane and I can see why countries are dumping dollars at warp speed.\n\nGlad my investments are in Canada and Europe!

No opinion on the deportation issue....But the world will end up hating this country after this malignant clown is done.

You Trumpers are not aware or educated on anything. Do you want to be at war with every country?\nYOU will pay for the tariffs. Trump is a bully. Yes we need immigration reform. But not start a war with every\nCountry. Trump killed the immigration reform bill with Dems and repubs because it’s how he won. The bill conceded to the repubs in many ways and they were thrilled. Then he told them not to vote for it. Do you want your children in an unstable atmosphere cuz Trump is threatening everyone? think this through. He’s wants to be a ruler and the rest of the world gets his craziness a lot more than you guys.

Honestly how is it possible that almost all of Trump's supporters lack critical thinking, they are just emotional babies like him. How is it hard to think that having such Tariffs affects consumer price at the same rate. How dumb can you be not to see this? I also understand other countries to denay the landing of military planes without schedule or agreed up on time and place. How would US feel if another country just sends their military plane without any information . This is wild.

This is the right time for world to come together and leave America ?? alone this Trump thought that without America the world can not serve he is laying Colombia is right America is big enough give them some part you're land to make the migratin shame on you America the country which was builded by the migrat

Lol i pray to God every country stand up to this lunatic. American President is mashing up the world On people in Congress support u but in the name of Jesus God will make you bow down to is niece. Donald Trump believe that you're not bigger than God. So much eye ?water is on you, and prior you're a evil ?

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .
