In a bid to avert impending U.S. tariffs, Canada and Mexico have showcased recent efforts to curb the flow of fentanyl into the United States. This initiative comes as President Donald Trump’s administration plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from both nations, effective March 4, citing inadequate action against drug trafficking. The proposed tariffs aim to pressure these countries into intensifying their anti-narcotics operations. The potential economic impact has raised concerns among U.S. businesses and consumers, anticipating increased costs on various goods. The situation underscores the complex interplay between trade policies and international efforts to combat the opioid crisis.
