Biden: Trump’s Tariffs Would Damage US Relations With Canada and Mexico
President-elect Trump’s planned tariffs on Canada and Mexico are opposed by President Biden, who considers them counterproductive and potentially damaging to crucial relationships. Biden hopes Trump will reconsider this action, which violates the USMCA and could severely impact the Canadian economy. While both Trudeau and Sheinbaum spoke with Trump, their accounts of the conversations regarding border control and tariffs differed.
