    That means an immediate price increases on oil, coffee and fruit, and anything made with oil, coffee or fruit.

    This is amazing. I thought US hegemony was going to drag on for another twenty years, but we’re really fucking blowing it all up.

    Somebody should try explaining to Trump that you can’t be the world empire and be isolationist at the same time.

    Or don’t, and let him speed run the collapse of hegemony.

    citations-needed made me realize I wish headlines did not just say 25% tarrifs because to the average reader that sounds innocuous and even to someone who follows this stuff I don’t know how that could affect people in Colombia, except badly. This should be broken down in tangible negative impacts this will have and this goes for all tarrif related news. Come to think of it, the news seems to have no trouble doing this when the tariffs will negatively impact the global north.

      Blue MAGA thinks NATO is coming to save them, lol. I am forever amazed at the lost irony on libs, pissing themselves over Trump tariffs and Greenland annexation in the context of Obama and Biden surgically severing EU-Russia relations, orchestrating a coup in Ukraine, and Biden coming back to finish the job by entrenching Europe in war and blowing up their brand new gas pipeline. The US is NATO, motherfuckers. The second a European head of state even thinks about dedollarizing, a Democrat appears behind them to drive a stake up their asshole. And yet libs are CONVINCED that Canada will invoke Article 4 on their behalf later this week. Imagine overdosing on copium as your supposed saviors are laughing their asses off at your party imploding. Unbelievable.

    Earlier in the day, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced he had blocked two US military flights carrying migrants heading toward the country and called on the United States to establish better protocols in its treatment of migrants. Petro also left the door open to receiving repatriated migrants traveling on civilian planes.
