Donald Trump recently claimed that the tariffs on Canada were meant to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States. However, data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) contradicts this narrative.
In the 2024 fiscal year, nearly all fentanyl seizures at U.S. borders occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border, accounting for approximately 99.8% of the total. In contrast, only a tiny fraction—less than 0.2%—was seized at the U.S.-Canada border.
Despite this, Trump proceeded with a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, justifying it as a measure to combat fentanyl trafficking. This decision has been widely criticized, with experts arguing that Canada is not a significant source of fentanyl and that these tariffs could disrupt trade and have economic consequences without addressing the real issue.
The move has also drawn backlash from business leaders and policymakers, who warn that such tariffs could spark a trade war and drive up costs for American consumers and businesses. Given the data, it appears that the claim about fentanyl coming from Canada is misleading, making the justification for these tariffs highly questionable.
Even though the amount of fentanyl is not down to zero, it was never about that or immigration. It’s always been about annexation of Canada for our rich resources. THAT WILL NEVER, EVER HAPPEN!!!
Of course it’s a Lie. His agenda is lies to subvert our democracy
That was great! Agree…ban assholes!
How does an import tariff do anything to discourage smuggling of an illegal substance? How stupid does Trump believe the American people are? (Granted many voted for him but I truly believe, based on the fact that Trump always accuses his opponents of his own digressions, the vote count was hacked in key states)
Everything this MF'er says is a lie! I'm just glad he admitted that the space nazi is the administrator of doge. He's so stupid. Slava Ukrayini!
Hell frump and muskrat have a bigger problem. They have to figure out how to stop transgender mice. 🤣🤣🤣
More fentanyl is coming to Canada from USA than Canada to USA.
TRUMP IS A LYING JERK.
Everyone knows that everything the traitor in the White House says is a lie. Every single thing and now that freak idiot Musk is in control of the traitor. we ain’t doing too good folks.
Good factual overview. Thanks!
Of course it is a lie!! I believe that he is doing the Tariffs on Canada to weaken Canada’s economy and then he is going to make a deal to become the 51st state.
Did you know that Canada responded BEFORE the US to the attack on Pearl Harbour? Have you ever seen a hockey game?
It's "elbows up" now and every Canadian knows they will suffer economically because of USA tariffs.
TEAM CANADA would be "over the boards" with reinforcements: the UK, the Commonwealth, the EU....etcetera.
CANADA has backers because CANADA STEPS UP when Canadians and others are in need because Canadians believe in protecting friends/countries from bullying.
Zelenskyy calls CANADA's PM "Justin" because they are personal friends. Canadian foreign policy is honest, compassionate, and sharing. Canadians are disgusted by powerful predatory foreign policies.
His lies of course pit nation against nation and that’s his goal

I really wish Canada could get the help it needs. Overdose deaths are up 562% in the past 25 years and we do not have cartels on our southern border. Fentanyl precursors are not screened for at our ports. The scanners they use are proven ineffective and the government refuses to spend more on our DDS teams even though they have stated themselves those very dogs made $203,000,000 of seizures in 2022 alone. The problem is very real.
