People are beginning to see it is a losing issue to resist tariffs
President Trump is taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.
The orders make clear that the flow of contraband drugs like fentanyl to the United States, through illicit distribution networks, has created a national emergency, including a public health crisis.
Chinese officials have failed to take the actions necessary to stem the flow of precursor chemicals to known criminal cartels and shut down money laundering by transnational criminal organizations.
In addition, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico. The government of Mexico has afforded safe havens for the cartels to engage in the manufacturing and transportation of dangerous narcotics, which collectively have led to the overdose deaths of hundreds of thousands of American victims. This alliance endangers the national security of the United States, and we must eradicate the influence of these dangerous cartels.
There is also a growing presence of Mexican cartels operating fentanyl and nitazene synthesis labs in Canada. A recent study recognized Canada’s heightened domestic production of fentanyl, and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution.
“Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49.”

The US CofC is a big supporter of low price illegal labor. I have no respect for them.
There are a lot of people who are going to have egg on their faces once Trump gets lots of great trade deals that will open up new or previously restricted markets to American businesses and farmers and that include foreign countries investing in the US and promising to purchase more of our products. This, along with keeping some protective tariffs in place to encourage re-industrialization in the US, will end up making our country boom economically, especially for “American’s Main Street Businesses” and their workers.
That’s a smart move. Challenging the tariffs would not work out well for the Chamber.
No standing...
