Incredible courage. If #Columbia can bring other Latin American countries along with it, Donald’s deportation plan is going to hit some major turbulence.
They sent him a letter telling him to fuck off unless he's prepared to take them to court. He can't fire them. They weren't elected; they were appointed.
So be ! In 4 years or less, America will no longer be the America people knew in the past. And Americans will regret Joe Biden once they see Trump suffering lost of memory or Alzheimer…
He saying y'all don't need us and only we need the US will be very helpful in driving us together, everyone likes to partner with an âsshõle.
Thank god, an isolated US, a weakened Europe and a stronger multi polar order is everything the global south needs
Or the goal of China and Russia is to manipulate Trump into conducting his administration such that it forces America's former allies into alliances with China and Russia
Trump seems to be aiming for World War III with his international politics. Collapsing NATO, taxing his allies, changing America's affiliations in Ukraine, etc. would probably kick it off.
Or to align with Europe, or Russia, or India, etc. And once that business leaves the United States, it won't come back anytime soon. Foreign countries will stop doing business with the US if our economic policies continue to swing radically left and right during each election cycle.
The idea that the US has ever swung left in the last 50 years is laughable. It's a ratchet that has only moved right, clicked in place, and moved more right.
I wouldn't say it was swinging radically left and right that's the problem. It's the swings from being a reliable international partner to being an isolationist nation which will renege on any agreement that will put countries off doing business with the US.
yeah i think it would be hard to find any standard by which the usa as a whole has done anything radically left lately. and im not sure how much that affects foreign policy anyway. i think those that support trump want the united states much weaker. it’s working.
US politics have never swung radically left in its entire history. They haven't even swung radically centrist. They've barely edged past moderate right wing in the last sixty years.
But you aren't fighting, you're pretending he can have a third term already because constantly dooming about the state of the U.S. is your political stance.
Not conceding or obeying in advance. I have the book sitting on my shelf right now. Just planning for the worst case scenario, and realizing it will be even worse than that.
Novo Nordisk just purchased plants to make Ozempic in the U.S. let’s not forget that Maersk- the largest shipping company in the world- is proudly Danish.
colombia justifiably can’t accept the US routinely sending military planes to its airports under the guise of transporting deportees. it’s an issue of diplomacy but they are presenting it as one of decency. offering the presidential plane is actually an insult, but fox can’t tell you that.
trump is raising the ante. petro is not folding.
T: “military plane.”
P: “no.”
T: “fine, we’re dropping them off wherever and imposing 25% tariff on your goods.”
P: “fine, 25% on *your* goods and i’ll go pick them up myself.”
T: “well, now it’s 50% on your goods.”
P: “ok, you too.”
GREEN TEA anybody??? RFK JR should agree with that, right? Oh gosh darn, China & other countries in Asia -- it's grown there... Seriously though, with China they're savvy. They'll just ship it to another country, & repackage it there... That COFFEE BEAN though... -ONE.🍵
Oh, gosh darn! I though he was FOCUSED on $$$🥚$$$??? Here it was, I thought he was bringing the price of $$$🥚$$$ WAY WAY DOWN. Meanwhile, he brought the price of COFFEE UP! -ONE.☕️
It's not even one week and he's already in conflict with Canada, Panama, Mexico, Denmark and now Colombia. Americans made a mad man the president and we will all bear the consequences.
I doubt he'll attend. He had barely ever travelled overseas as president. He'll send a minion...in his mind he'll think it shows what he thinks of Canada. But we don't want him here anyway....
Starbucks will say, Oh, we have to raise the prices. What they won't tell you is the own coffee bean plantations, so when they raise their prices it is to benefit them.
Other U.S. trading partners should consider raising tariffs in solidarity with Colombia because they should know they’re next on his list the moment they don’t give in to his next absurd demand.
FP: "Since 2017, Trump’s first year in office, trade has held more or less steady at just under 60 per cent of global GDP. But there’s been a decline in the US share of trade flows offset by an increase in other regions. Trump 2.0 seems likely to bring more of the same: trade without America.”
So what's the situation now, I didn't quite understand. Has he accepted further deportations, provided they are conducted in his presidential plane? Is Colombia also imposing tariffs on American imports?
good for colombian president. we have felon repost idiot in america leading our country because of white racist misogynist refuse to vote for a better candidate n person a strong black woman way to go America pay more. trump recession
The purpose in Trump's case is to attempt to hit the economy of Colombia as recompense for refusing deportees. The purpose in Colombia's case is to respond and begin using the trade of other countries.
I get that's the stated intent but it seems awfully indirect & slow. Any effects in the short term would be agricultural? As the most easily replaceable goods. Farmers lose again.
For the US? Absolutely. For Colombia? Not so much. This is an issue of scale and position. The USA doesn't really have anything Colombia can't get from others, it's just an issue of supply. Colombia is one of the main exporters of oil, coffee, and cut flowers out there because they're among few that
Actually have them. Coffee, in particular, is becoming rarer and rarer as climate change settles in. Put simply, it hurts both, but the US is certainly hit harder and the Colombian people are much more with attacking the US than the american people are with attacking Colombia.
Trump thinks he can do & say whatever the hell he wants without repercussions! Leaders who have a spine, will stand up to Trump’s foolishness & bullying!! Much respect to President Gustavo Petro!! We need more Petro’s in this world!!
Agree. They might need direct, negative impact on their lives for multiple years in order realize “wokeism” benefits them in a drastically better way than MAGA.
The reparations the winners demanded from them did seriously damage what was left of their economy, including their ability to pay it back.
But yes, letting the military start a war, damaging the country badly, and then letting militarism blame everybody else and take power again was not good.

Thus the meddling in elections in EU.

Oh, I wish
He really thought he had the upper hand 🤦♀️
But this is far from over.
The intentional mayhem created by #47 is earning him all the negative attention he desires.

Nope
Assholes do vex us.

And he has not accepted any deportations on non-Colombians on Colombian soil.
Gaitán sought a fairer systems before Castro or Guevara and for that he was murdered.
Don't forget we can stop using USA stuff too. No Amazon, Coca Cola, Kelloggs ....
Stop buying our stuff.
I'm in!
Also from 🇺🇸. Please do this.
They only understand cash, weapons, or power.
That's how you stand up and resist the🍊💩Fascist Regime
Germany's shitty economy in 1933 gave rise to fascism. That's generally how these things work.
But yes, letting the military start a war, damaging the country badly, and then letting militarism blame everybody else and take power again was not good.
The economy in 1933 was already in much better shape when the NSDAP finally managed to acquire power.
