Imposing Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border

President Trump has issued an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy products to combat the flow of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, across the northern border. This action is part of a broader national emergency declaration targeting drug trafficking and illegal immigration, highlighting Canada's perceived insufficient efforts to curb these issues. The tariffs could strain U.S.-Canada trade relations and lead to potential Canadian retaliation, impacting economic ties and possibly escalating into a trade dispute.
