WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama seemed to call Hillary Rodham Clinton’s idea of a no-fly zone in Syria “half-baked.” Clinton has described the president’s immigration strategy as “harsh and aggressive.” And as Obama tries to rally Democrats around the chief economic proposal of his second term, the party’s presidential front-runner has stayed conspicuously silent.
The relationship between the man in the White House and the woman who hopes to replace him has grown increasingly complicated.
No issue presents more potential for friction than trade.
Clinton has resisted weighing in on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the sweeping trade deal that has divided the Democratic base. She promises to “definitely have a position soon.”
