Trump threatens tariffs on China and Mexico to combat fentanyl and migration issues
President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs on China and Mexico unless they take action against fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration. He announced a potential 10% tariff on Chinese imports and a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. This approach aims to encourage cooperation from both countries on drug enforcement. However, it may jeopardize recent improvements in U.S.-China collaboration on fentanyl issues, which have developed through negotiations between President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping. Trump's tariffs would affect the U.S.'s three largest trading partners. He criticized their current efforts to control drug and migrant flows into the United States.
