President Trump confirmed that new tariffs on Canada and Mexico will take effect due to the escalating drug crisis linked to Fentanyl, which he attributes to imports from these countries. He highlighted the staggering loss of life—over 100,000 deaths last year—caused by drug trafficking, primarily from China. Despite prior negotiations to avert tariffs, the president is determined to impose a 25% levy starting March 4, also extending an additional tax on China. His administration views tariffs as necessary to protect American interests, contradicting critics who label them a detrimental financial burden on consumers.
