President Biden called Trump's tariff threats "counterproductive" during a visit to a fire house on Thanksgiving day. President Joe Biden on Thursday criticized President-elect Donald Trump's announcement that he will implement 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, saying the comments were "counterproductive." "I hope he rethinks it, and I think it's a counterproductive thing to do," Biden said, responding to a reporter's question about his reaction. "The last thing we need to do is begin to screw up those relationships," he said during a Thanksgiving Day visit to a fire station in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Trump said Monday on Truth Social that one of his first executive orders would be to hit Mexico and Canada with a blanket 25% tariff.
