The product that started the trade war and ended trade relationships in North America seems to be the only product Trump doesn't want to tariff

LOL, yeah, removing something non-existent, for something tangible.

We both know most fentanyl is cooked in the USA. Trump just bullshits about everyone else "making it" to ship to the USA. When in fact it's the opposite.

China is standing up to Trump. They basically are calling his bluff

I guess fentanyl has legitimate medical uses and that is what won't attract tariffs.

I am curious as to why the US has a major problem with it compared with other Western countries. Other drugs like heroin, ice etc seem to hit all western countries about the same time. Ice became a problem everywhere.

But not fentanyl despite being 50 times more efficacious than heroin. That is just odd.

It makes me wonder if the US is specifically targeted for more than commercial reasons.

The purchase China promised next year is the same as pre-trade war and half the usual soybean purchase this year in exchange for reducing tariffs and giving China further concessions in software. And he calls it a "deal" lol. Are we all tired of losing yet?

Fentanyl is one of the major drugs used in surgeries and recovery, thousands of times more than it is used as an illegal street drug.
