Biden warns Trump against proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada

President Joe Biden expressed concern over Donald Trump's plan to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. Biden called the proposal "counterproductive" and hopes Trump will reconsider it. Trump's tariff threat aims to pressure Mexico and Canada to address issues like illegal drugs and immigration. This move could strain relations with both countries and challenge the USMCA trade agreement. Following Trump's announcement, he spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who stated that she did not agree to close the border. She expressed confidence that a trade war could be avoided.
