Peter Navarro, a key advisor to President Trump, appeared on Fox News, arguing that critics of Trump's tariff policy undermine efforts to tackle fentanyl overdoses. He claimed that if Mexico, China, and Canada enforce strong measures against drug trafficking, it can be halted. Navarro dismissed concerns about tariff-induced inflation, citing past experiences where tariffs didn't lead to recession or inflation. He maintained that the economic strategy focuses on protecting American markets while framing the issue as a drug war rather than a trade war, projecting confidence in future economic prosperity despite tariffs.
"If Mexico, China and Canada do, which is what was clearly within their capabilities to do, to stop that, it will stop. But if it doesn't stop, President Trump will continue his relentless pressure to make sure that Americans stop dying."
"We are the biggest market in the world, they take advantage of us. We have the lowest tariffs, the lowest tariff barriers of any, they flood our markets."
