President-elect Donald Trump is planning 25 percent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico partly over fentanyl smuggling. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said they’re preparing counter-tariffs, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says they have not “found that precursors arrive … and that the whole process is manufactured here in Mexico.” The Drug Enforcement Agency says Mexican cartels are “at the heart” of this problem and congressional reports point to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as bearing responsibility. NTD offers a data-driven report that exposes how the CCP is heavily involved in the availability of this deadly substance in American communities.
