President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency over the significant danger posed by illegal immigrants and lethal fentanyl entering the United States.
In response, he has imposed a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China.
However, energy resources from Canada will receive a reduced 10% tariff.
In a statement on Saturday, President Trump emphasized the need for Mexico, Canada, and China to fulfill their commitments to curb illegal immigration and prevent the flow of harmful narcotics into the United States.
He highlighted the alarming partnership between Mexican drug trafficking groups and the Mexican government, as well as the increasing involvement of Mexican cartels in Canada’s synthetic drug production.
President Trump’s decisive measures come as previous administrations have failed to effectively use America’s economic strength to protect its borders.
Tariffs are seen as a potent tool to safeguard national interests, with Trump utilizing them to prioritize Americans’ safety and national security.
The continuous surge of illegal immigrants has led to the most severe border crisis in US history, impacting various aspects of national life.
The influx of drugs like fentanyl has resulted in tens of thousands of American deaths annually, with the number of fentanyl overdose fatalities surpassing the total American casualties in the Vietnam War.
President Trump’s commitment to ensuring U.S. trade policy aligns with national interests has been evident throughout his tenure.
He has used tariffs effectively to address national security concerns with various countries, prioritizing the safety and security of the American public.
