President-elect Joe Biden expressed concern over Donald Trump's plans to impose tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, warning that it could harm U.S. relations with its neighbors. Biden made these comments during a Thanksgiving visit in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Trump had proposed tariffs of up to 25 percent, linking them to issues like drug trafficking and illegal immigration. After some backlash, Trump stated that his discussions with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum were positive, claiming she agreed to help reduce migration. Sheinbaum clarified that Mexico's approach does not involve closing borders but focuses on addressing migration while respecting human rights. This response highlights differing views on the situation between the U.S. and Mexico.
