The article discusses recent tariff decisions made by President Trump to counteract the illegal flow of fentanyl into the US, with a 10 percent tariff on China exports starting immediately. However, after negotiations with leaders from Mexico and Canada, Trump paused the tariffs on these two countries for 30 days, contingent on their commitments to curbing drug trafficking and migration. While these tariffs aimed to address trade deficits, they escalated global market concerns regarding economic slowdown.

The tariffs were temporarily paused after negotiations spearheaded by Trump's discussions with leaders from Mexico and Canada, focusing on curbing drug trafficking.
