President Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on Canada over drug trafficking, equating it with Mexico. U.S. government reports do not support the claim.

The U.S. government has stated that Canada and Mexico could still avoid hefty tariffs if they take action to curb fentanyl trafficking at their borders while also committing to slowing China’s advancements in artificial intelligence.

He noted those tariffs were separate from a broad effort by the Commerce Department, the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and the Treasury Department to review trade relations and tariffs by April 1.
