Trump promises to impose 10% tariffs on goods from China, allegedly due to drug smuggling

NEW YORK, November 26. /TASS/. Newly elected US President Donald Trump has promised to impose an additional 10% tariff on all goods from China due to alleged large quantities of Chinese drugs entering the US.

“I have had many conversations with China regarding the massive amounts of drugs, particularly fentanyl, being sent into the United States – but to no avail,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page. According to him, Chinese authorities have promised to take action to end drug trafficking, but as the president-elect has said, they never did and the flow of Chinese drugs continues in unprecedented quantities, mainly through Mexico.

“Until they stop, we will charge China an additional 10% tariff, on top of any additional tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States,” Trump emphasized.
