Former U.S. president Barack Obama criticized the Trump administration's trade policies on Saturday, taking aim at the imposition of tariffs on Canada.
Speaking on the campaign trail, Obama highlighted the absurdity of launching a trade dispute with America's northern neighbor, emphasizing the close cultural and economic ties between the two nations. "They’re the nicest people," Obama remarked to the crowd, questioning the logic behind penalizing such a reliable ally.
The remarks come amid ongoing political fallout over the administration's aggressive use of tariffs, which have strained diplomatic and trade relations with key international partners, including Canada.
