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.
Fuck you, Joe and your peaceful transfer to fascism. This is your moment to be remembered for history and its not looking good for you or any of us.
Understandable, but don’t you think that’s exactly how people thought when Trump was transitioning to Biden? What do you propose that would be different from that, other than being on the other side?
Not like I’m happy that Trump is gonna be in office but the people get what they vote for. It’s problematic when that doesn’t become the case. Well, might still be before then but it’s hard to protect people from themselves.
America elected this fuck - I’d rather not allow our executives to make judgment calls on whether to hand over the reigns.
The American people made this choice - much to Biden’s dismay.
