President Donald Trump imposed high tariffs on Chinese goods due to the alleged export of chemicals for fentanyl production. China retaliated with tariffs on American goods. Trump accused Canada and Mexico of smuggling fentanyl but withdrew the tariffs after concessions. Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic drug, has caused numerous deaths in the U.S. China is the main source of chemicals for its production, and Mexico is a key point for smuggling. The U.S. accuses Chinese and Mexican companies of illegal trade.
Trump put tariffs on China for not stopping fentanyl export.
