U.S. President Joe Biden called on President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada this week, warning the move could strain vital alliances. 👀 \"I hope he rethinks it. It could screw up relationships with our closest neighbors,\" Biden said during a Thanksgiving gathering in Massachusetts. 🌟
The comments came after Trump announced plans to impose tariffs unless Mexico and Canada curb drug trafficking and migration. Critics argue this could violate the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal. 📉 Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum downplayed tensions, stating the two nations agreed to maintain \"good relations\" during a recent call—though details about tariffs were not discussed.
Biden emphasized the importance of U.S. ties with its neighbors: \"We're surrounded by oceans and two allies. Let's not start new fights.\" 🌊 Meanwhile, Sheinbaum clarified her strategy focuses on managing migration before people reach the U.S. border—a contrast to Trump's claims of a closed-border deal.
With global markets watching closely, will these tariffs spark a new trade war? 🤔 Stay tuned for updates!
