Customs conflict
Trump imposes 35 percent tariffs against Canada
Donald Trump sends the next customs letter: to neighbor Canada. The letter is also about a drug.
US President Donald Trump imposes against neighboring Canada tariffs of 35 percent. The Republican also brought the Fentanyl crisis into play in the Truth Social Published letter to the tariffs on the import of Canadian products.
Trump criticized that Canada had not managed to stop the synthetic drug’s influx into the United States. In the customs dispute, Canada – instead of working with the United States – rejected an earlier customs announcement from the United States with its own tariffs.
Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that makes it quickly and strongly dependent. It has led to a major drug problem in the United States. Criminal syndicates mainly supply drugs with drugs from Mexico. US President Trump also accuses Canada and China of being responsible for the fentanyl crisis.
Commercial talks canceled
At the end of June, Trump had already announced trade talks with Canada. As the reason, Trump had mentioned a Canada introduction of a digital tax to business in American companies. The United States is by far the most important trading partner for Canada.
In the previous days, the Republican had already made numerous letters to other countries public. So far, the EU has not been among them.
