Colombian President Gustavo Petro just ordered an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods in retaliation to an order announced hours earlier by Trump.
Trump has started a trade war with the #4 oil exporter to the U.S.
Petroleum is the largest export of Colombia to the U.S. at roughly $6 billion. !Next is coffee- 20% is shipped to the U.S for $1.8 billion. Cut flowers were the third biggest import from Colombia, at $1.6 billion. So we should be looking at higher prices soon. Thank tRump and his hate for that
I don’t want other countries to yield even an inch to the orange monstrosity. Seeing their leaders fight back heartens me. This is the only way to deal effectively with a global bully
Is anyone thinking of the people that aren't guilty of crimes & are just looking for a better life that were told they weren't wanted by anyone? How scared are they? Where are they now? Who are they? What are their stories? Or are we all just interested in the pissing contest between two leaders?
Is not that Colombia didn't want to receive their fellow citizens. Colombia's president said that he was not going to receive them in handcuffs and military planes. They should be transported in commercial planes and the US government must present a plan so they knew how to proceed. https://rb.gy/1hcwl5
Where are they now? Who's getting, or has gotten them out of hell? Where are the multitude of stories about their welfare? Why isn't that leading the news? We've devolved so drastically.
Trump doesn't seem to understand that if they play this game with latin american countries, those countries will strengthen their commercial ties with China...
In his announcement on X, Gustavo Petro, the Colombian president said: "today, we stop looking North; today we look at the rest of the world with open arms"
Trump doesn’t realize that leaders from other countries don’t have to lock step with him, or kiss his tush, as our representatives and senators seem to do. He’s in for a rude awakening.
BREAKING: Unfortunately, Trump's best buds over at Goya Foods have not been able to resolve this issue—a massive upset after Trump thought they were representative of the entirety of Latin America.
I'm not sure what it has to do with consumer suffering from trade wars. It's clear to everybody on this platform that he doesn't care. I don't need to be specifically reminded.
I don't think the global south cares about any shred of US influence that may remain. Trump, Putin, and Xi are dividing the world into "spheres of influence" as seen in centuries past. We do indeed seem to be "going back".
No, but that’s what they liked about him and why they voted for him.
Why bother work your ass off on the farm when Trump will write you a check for doing nothing?

The delution that we are superior to other countries is as fake as Trump's tan.
It's like mutually assured destruction only for marketplaces instead of real estate.
