President Donald Trump and his administration have made a variety of complaints about Canada to justify his plan to impose 25% tariffs on most imports from Canada (with 10% tariffs on energy imports) beginning on Tuesday.

Finding undermines assertions by Trump administration that Canada is a rapidly growing source of fentanyl in the U.S.

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.

As Trump pushes Canada to appoint a “fentanyl czar,” here’s how often the drug is seen at the northern border.

Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, while destroying their families and communities all across our Country.

As a state that shares an international border with Canada, Minnesota has added interest in illegal fentanyl imports into the country.
