Summary

President Joe Biden criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico as “counterproductive,” warning it could harm relationships with key trade partners.

Trump announced the tariffs would remain until illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking are stopped, drawing criticism from economists who argue the costs would fall on consumers.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum disputed Trump’s claim that she agreed to “close borders.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed the importance of maintaining strong U.S.-Canada trade ties in response to the proposal.

    Its Biden’s fault for being an establishment pick, and doing nothing for his time in. And wile that’s not fully true, he did not promote progressive ideals. In some cases he chose the opposite of progressive policies. Then Harris got the nomination, promised more of the same. So i understand why people didn’t bother voting. I have been vocal about absolutely hating the democrats for what they were doing, but i still voted for Harris, because … i am in harm prevention mode.
