S. President Joe Biden emphasized that Donald Trump's plans to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada could ruin relations with close allies, and he hopes he "rethinks it," as "it's counterproductive."
"We have an unusual situation in the United States: We're surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and two allies: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need is to start damaging those relationships," the president said.
Trump's tariff threat would hurt Canadian and American workers: Trudeau
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Wednesday that imposing a 25 percent tariff would be detrimental to both Canadian and American workers and lead to job losses on both sides of the border, in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's tariff threat.
Trudeau held a virtual meeting with the 13 provincial premiers Wednesday night to discuss Trump's tariff threat, according to a statement released by the Canadian prime minister's office.
