Summary
Trump defended his new tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico as a response to the fentanyl crisis, but experts say overdose deaths have already been declining due to law enforcement efforts and naloxone distribution.
Critics argue tariffs will harm trade and cooperation while failing to curb fentanyl trafficking, most of which occurs at the U.S.-Mexico border. Just 10 lbs were seized from Canada.
Canada and Mexico condemned the tariffs, with Mexico threatening countermeasures.
Experts say naloxone access and cartel crackdowns, not tariffs, are driving overdose reductions.
Oh, another “Trump says [bullshit] but [yeah, it’s bullshit]”.
Look, I applaud that there are still heroic attempts to fact-check Trump but overloading our bs-detector is clearly his MO.
I think it’s safe to assume that everything he says is a lie or at least a huge exaggeration and save some energy to try and build up some resistance to what he’s freaking doing
