Breitbart: President Joe Biden did little as fentanyl smugglers killed roughly 300,000 Americans on his watch, but President Donald Trump has quickly imposed painful tariffs on the countries that are helping those smugglers.
“I determined that the failure of the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to act to blunt the sustained influx of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, flowing from the PRC to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat … to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” Trump declared in a March 3 order, which added:
In recognition of the fact that the PRC has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis, section 2(a) of Executive Order 14195 is hereby amended by striking the words “10 percent” and inserting in lieu thereof the words “20 percent”.
The order is titled “Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republicans of China.” more here
In hind sight, we should have had an open thread on Trumps State of The Union address tonight. But who knew it would be this epic. Dang. Fuck the Dems. This is awesome. Trump’s absolutely killing it.
I always knew the wetbacks were bringing drugs in but I expected better from the snowbacks.
