Trump Blames Mexico and Canada for Drug Supply
Donald Trump has issued a strong statement regarding the ongoing drug crisis affecting the United States, stating that drugs are still being smuggled into the country from Mexico and Canada at “very high and unacceptable levels.” He pointed out that a significant portion of these drugs, particularly the highly addictive opioid Fentanyl, is being manufactured in China and distributed across U.S. borders.
In light of this alarming situation, Trump confirmed that the previously proposed tariffs on China will go into effect as scheduled on March 4th. Additionally, a new 10% tariff will be imposed on Chinese goods. This move, Trump stated, is a direct response to the deadly and dangerous drug epidemic that continues to devastate communities nationwide.
The distribution of these drugs has had a catastrophic impact, with over 100,000 lives lost in the past year alone. Trump expressed his concern for the families affected by this crisis, highlighting the destruction caused by these harmful substances. He reiterated that the U.S. cannot allow this scourge to continue and stressed the importance of taking aggressive action to curb the flow of illegal drugs into the country.
