Nantucket, United States: President Joe Biden on Thursday warned against straining relations with Canada and Mexico after his incoming successor, Donald Trump, threatened to impose tariffs on both US neighbors.
“I think it’s a counterproductive thing to do,” Biden told reporters when asked about Trump’s plan. “The last thing we need to do is start to screw up those relationships. I think we’ve got them in a good place.”
The comments came a day after Trump spoke on the phone with Mexican President Claudia Schönbaum about immigration and drug trafficking to the US, after which he threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on the southern neighbor. was
