Washington’s allies across the Americas warned Donald Trump against imposing tariffs, after the president on Thursday reiterated his threat to apply them to Canada and Mexico as soon as this weekend.
Ottawa argued that the move could increase US reliance on adversaries such as Venezuela for oil, while the fallout from trade penalties on Mexico may undermine the US president’s efforts to curb migration at the southern border.
Brazil, meanwhile, said it would impose tariffs on US goods if Trump followed through on plans for across-the-board surcharges on imports, “the latest signal that Trump’s efforts may spark a trade war with US allies,” Al Jazeera noted.
