NANTUCKET, United States: President Joe Biden on Thursday warned against damaging relations with Canada and Mexico after his incoming successor Donald Trump threatened to slap 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 begin to screw up those relationships. I think we got them in a good place.”
The comments come a day after Trump spoke by phone with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about US-bound migration and drug trafficking, over which he has threatened to slap a 25-percent tariff on the southern neighbour.
