Actually, I take that back.
Announcing the first (in what we can expect to be a long line of) Trump tariffs on the International Customs Day is rather poetic.
Timing, they say, is everything

Great, so what's the plan here?
He's introducing tariffs to force Colombia to accept migrants and then what? The plan is to remove them once they do?
That's not trade policy, that's blackmail.

However, an emergency 25% tarrif that inflates to 50% fucks us.
Coffee.
Tim Apple has the iPhones made by Chinese wage slaves. If tariffs forced him to bring those jobs here and pay a decent wage, an iPhone 16 would then cost $1,600 instead of $1,000.
China isn't going to pay for the tariffs.

Very stable genius?
Everyone is so focused on coffee, but a huge portion of the cut flowers we buy and not a small amount of oil comes from Colombia as well.
Colombia typically gets very few people applying for refugee status so anyone else not here legally… it has always been fair game.
