Trump's tariffs target fentanyl trafficking from Mexico, Canada

President Trump's administration is using tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada to combat the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. Officials claim this approach is part of a broader strategy to address the drug crisis. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the tariffs aim to pressure neighboring countries to enhance border security and technology. The future of these tariffs remains uncertain, as they have caused consumer unease and market fluctuations. Economists warn that tariffs could lead to higher prices for American consumers. Critics argue that tariffs may not effectively stop fentanyl trafficking, as most traffickers are U.S. citizens using legal crossings.
