US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on goods imported from China, citing concerns over the fentanyl crisis. He stated that the tariff is being considered because China sends fentanyl to Mexico and Canada.
Fentanyl, a synthetic drug, is responsible for thousands of deaths annually in the US and Canada. In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said on Wednesday that China believes there are no winners in a tariff or trade war and will firmly protect its interests.
Notably, during his 2024 election campaign, Trump had threatened to impose tariffs exceeding 60% on Chinese goods.
