1. La Propuesta Central: Aranceles del 25% a Canadá y México.
Donald Trump anunció su intención de implementar un arancel del 25% sobre las importaciones de Canadá y México. La medida se presenta como una respuesta directa a la crisis del fentanilo y a los flujos migratorios, condicionando su vigencia a que ambos países controlen el paso de drogas e inmigrantes hacia Estados Unidos.
- Trump said he plans to impose a 25% tariff on products imported from mexico and canada, framing the proposal as a response to the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
- 11/25/24 - trump’s administration will impose a 25% tariff on imports coming from mexico and canada until the borders are secure and fentanyl stops coming into the u.s. From these countries.
- Donald trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from mexico and canada, citing concerns over border security and the flow of fentanyl into the us.
- Trump says on his first day in office he will bring in a 25% tariff on canada, and mexico “on all products coming into the united states.” he says it’ll remain in effect until borders are secured from drugs, in particular fentanyl, and illegal immigration.
2. Justificación Cuestionada: El Papel de Canadá en el Tráfico.
La justificación de los aranceles es ampliamente cuestionada, ya que los datos indican que menos del 1% del fentanilo y de los migrantes que ingresan a EE. UU. lo hacen a través de la frontera con Canadá. Esta discrepancia sugiere que los motivos detrás de la medida podrían ser distintos a los declarados oficialmente.
- The fact is less than 1% of fentanyl & migrants enter the us from can. Compared to mexico.
- Trump increases tariff on canada to 35% from 25%, cites fentanyl note- canada accounts for just 1% of fentanyl imports into the us.
- Trump announced 25% tariffs on canada to fight the ongoing fentanyl crisis. The canada-us border is the longest in the world (5,526mi), 3x as long as the us-mexico border. Despite this, less than 1% of fentanyl comes from the north. Clearly, the tariffs are motivated by something else.
- Trump says he imposed tariffs because of the fentanyl and migrants entering the u.s. From canada. Less than 1% of fentanyl & less than 1% of illegal crossings into the u.s. Come from canada. The canadian border is not the issue.
3. Disparidad en las Tasas: China Frente a Canadá y México.
Se observa una notable inconsistencia en las tasas arancelarias propuestas. Mientras que a Canadá y México se les impone un 25%, a China, señalada como la principal fuente de precursores químicos para el fentanilo, se le aplica un arancel inferior, generalmente del 10%. Esto genera dudas sobre la coherencia de la estrategia.
- Trump imposed 25% tariffs on mex & can because of fentanyl but only 10% on china where the majority of chemicals to fentanyl comes from.
- Fentanyl, i've read comes from china into mexico, canada and the usa. So why 10% tariffs for china and 25% for mexico? if he really believes this is a drug war.
- Make it make sense 1% of all fentanyl comes from canada whereas china is responsible for 99% yet trump put 25% tariffs on canada and only 10% on china!!
- Trump says his tariffs address the fentanyl crisis. Ok. But then why impose a 25% tariff on canada but only 10% on china, the source of illegal fentanyl?
4. El Origen del Tráfico: El Rol de los Ciudadanos Estadounidenses.
Varios análisis señalan que la política de aranceles ignora un factor clave: la mayoría del tráfico de fentanilo a través de la frontera es realizado por ciudadanos estadounidenses en puertos de entrada legales. Esto sugiere que los aranceles a países vecinos no abordarían la raíz del problema del narcotráfico.
- 86% of drug trafficking of fentanyl and other illicit drugs is brought through the border by us citizens.
- Trump wants to impose tariffs on canada and mexico to stop fentanyl buts it’s americans bringing it in at legal ports of entry.
- It is well known that most of the fentanyl coming into america is transported by american citizens. Break the economy, fix nothing.
- Trump’s tariffs on canada, mexico, and china won’t stop fentanyl—86% of traffickers are u.s. Citizens, and over 90% of fentanyl is seized at legal ports, often smuggled by americans.
