Biden says he hopes Trump rethinks tariffs on Mexico and Canada
"I hope he rethinks it. I think it's a counterproductive thing to do. We're surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and two allies: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need to do is begin to screw up those relationships," U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters in Nantucket.
