The article discusses the impending tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, citing potential economic fallout such as recession and stock sell-offs. It argues that President Trump's justification for these tariffs—stemming from a national emergency due to illegal immigration and drug trafficking—is misleading. The article emphasizes the inaccuracies in statements from Trump and his spokesperson regarding fentanyl-related deaths. It highlights concerns over media outlets not adequately debunking these claims and how this situation may ignite early resistance to Trump's actions from within businesses and Congress.
President Trump is taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.
Yet Trump's claims about the scope of the problem are false. As NPR notes, both Trump and Karoline Leavitt have lied about the scope of the fentanyl deaths.
