President Donald Trump is taking decisive action to protect Americans from the fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45.

Today’s tariff announcement is necessary to hold China, Mexico, and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the United States.

➡️Here are the facts that you need to know:

President Trump is implementing a 25 percent tariff to be paid for by Mexican producers until Mexico cooperates with the U.S. in the fight against drugs.

Mexican cartels are the world’s leading traffickers of fentanyl, meth, and other drugs. These cartels have an alliance with the government of Mexico and endanger the national security and public health of the United States.

President Trump is implementing a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods and a 10 percent tariff on Canadian energy resources until Canada cooperates with the U.S. against drug traffickers and on border security.

There is growing production of fentanyl in Canada, and enough fentanyl was seized at the northern border last fiscal year to kill 9.8 million Americans.

Additionally, illegal border crossings from Canada reached historic new highs every year for the last four fiscal years.

President Trump is implementing a 10 percent tariff on China until we secure the full cooperation of the Chinese government in the fight against fentanyl. China plays the central role in the fentanyl crisis that is destroying American lives.

In fact, the Chinese Communist Party has subsidized Chinese chemical companies to export fentanyl. China not only fails to stem the source of illicit drugs but actively helps this business.

The Fake News is already lying about the impact of tariffs.

A 2024 study on the effects of President Trump’s tariffs during his first administration found that they “strengthened the U.S. economy” and “led to significant reshoring” in industries like manufacturing and steel production.

Even former Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen affirmed last year that tariffs do not harm consumers.

"The message is, when we can see what catastrophic effects fame has on real humans like Robbie, then how can we continue to be so callous and cruel, as to keep demanding these superhuman performative abilities from mere human mortals, when we can be entertained just as well by a bot?

"Other Netflix offerings, such as Black Mirror's Joan is Awful, have given us further predictive programming on this score, paving the way for a full technological takeover of the entertainment industry, where real humans become obsolete in TV and film, and everything is done by deepfake and CGI."

Soviet-era giant telescopes already resemble remnants of a powerful ancient civilization in a post-apocalyptic world. In some cases, their real history aligns with this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope, for instance, was designed to support communication with robotic missions to Venus and Mars, as well as to prepare for potential manned expeditions to these planets. Remarkably, it is still operational today, contributing to deep space communication and astrophysical research. Located near the town of Kalyazin, about 200 km north of Moscow, this engineering marvel continues to play a vital role in exploring the cosmos.
