Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voiced her concerns about tariffs on Colombian imports that Trump has proposed, claiming they would hurt Americans.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., weighed in on President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff feud with Colombian President Gustavo Petro – but not every social media user bought her comments. The spat between Trump and Petro began when the Colombian leader refused to accept two deportation flights over the weekend, prompting Trump to unleash retaliatory measures.
Ocasio-Cortez's tweet racked up over 47,000 likes from supporters as of 8 p.m., but received scorn from Trump supporters and tariff advocates. 'World record. 35 minutes and the tweet already aged like hot milk,' the social media account Catturd wrote, referencing Petro's immediate offer to transport Colombian migrants on his presidential plane.
