Imposing Duties to Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our National Border

President Trump issued an executive order imposing a 25% ad valorem tariff on most Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on energy resources, citing Canada's failure to adequately address the influx of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, across the US-Canada border.

This action is framed as a national emergency response to a public health crisis and a threat to national security.

The order includes provisions for potential tariff escalation if Canada retaliates and requires regular reporting to Congress.

The tariffs will be removed upon the President's determination that Canada has taken sufficient action.
