US President Donald Trump expects a reduction in the tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods due to the fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl is an opioid analgesic that has caused numerous overdoses in the US. Trump has linked the rise in fentanyl use to trade relations with China, accusing Beijing of inaction in combating the production and distribution of this drug. According to Trump, lowering tariffs will be a step towards solving this problem. However, experts doubt the effectiveness of this approach, pointing to the complexity of combating the illegal drug trade.
