During a press conference at the Oval Office on Jan. 21, President Donald Trump said he is considering a 10% across-the-board tariff on all Chinese goods starting as early as next week.
While talking to reporters, Trump suggested that the sudden change to his tariff policy was due to large quantities of fentanyl coming from China via Mexico and Canada, and that the threats of tariffs could get China to crack down on the drug that was responsible for more than 70,000 American deaths in 2022.
