In response to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China, tensions have escalated over the production and importation of the opiate fentanyl, trade surpluses, and illegal border crossings. China has expressed its concerns and intentions regarding the situation.
China has stated its readiness to take 'necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests' following the U.S.'s decision to impose tariffs on China for allegedly not doing enough to curb the production of precursor chemicals for fentanyl. China has emphasized the need for the U.S. to correct its actions and maintain positive dynamics in counternarcotics cooperation.
