1. La Justificación de Trump para los Aranceles.
La administración Trump citó repetidamente el supuesto flujo de fentanilo desde Canadá como la razón principal para imponer y aumentar los aranceles sobre productos canadienses, presentando la medida como una cuestión de seguridad nacional.
- "if canada works with me to stop the flow of fentanyl, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter,” trump wrote to carney.
- The white house says fentanyl smuggled to the u.s. Justifies tariffs against canada, china and mexico. But fentanyl deaths and smuggling have been dropping fast….
- Trump: 'justin trudeau, of canada, called me to ask what could be done about tariffs. I told him that many people have died from fentanyl that came through the borders of canada and mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped.
- Trump claims he told trudeau that canada's "weak border policies" are responsible for fentanyl and illegal immigration flowing into the u.s., causing deaths. :
2. La Respuesta Canadiense: Refutación y Escepticismo.
Líderes canadienses como Mark Carney y Justin Trudeau, junto con la opinión pública, rechazaron enérgicamente la narrativa de Trump, calificándola de falsa y señalando que Canadá representa una porción mínima de las importaciones de fentanilo a EE. UU.
- The fentanyl excuse is patently false, but the only way trump can impose tarrifs under the existing trade agreement between the us and canada (which trump negotiated).
- Pm carney calls out trump’s lies about fentanyl as the reason for raising tariff levels: "canada accounts for only one per cent of u.s. Fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes.".
- Carney calling it a bullsh!t reason that us imposed tariffs on canada- fentanyl cross border. A worn excuse debunked long ago but still used by the orange mussolini.
- Fentanyl is a total canard and everyone with half a mind knows it. Trudeau needs to absolutely lay into the americans hard - if the trump admin wants to play this game, have it out.
3. Diplomacia y Negociaciones Bajo Tensión.
A pesar del escepticismo, las conversaciones diplomáticas continuaron. Los líderes canadienses intentaron negociar de buena fe, aunque a menudo se encontraron con una postura inflexible y contradictoria por parte de la administración estadounidense.
- Senior canadian government official: canada's pm carney and trump discussed the border and fentanyl. There was a lot of focus on the arctic. Canada's pm carney told trump why none of the tariffs made sense, carney did not make this point in confrontational way.
- Carney seems to be treating trump like a serious negotiator—like he actually cares about canada’s progress on fentanyl. He doesn’t. Trump’s just using fentanyl as an excuse because he knows maga will buy it and back his tariffs.
- The call between trudeau and trump has happened, and they did discuss tariffs and fentanyl. Trump posting online now, says 'nothing has convinced me' that fentanyl coming from canada to the us has stopped.
- Cnbc: trump said on truth social that he spoke to canadian prime minister justin trudeau and told him that canada’s efforts to stop the flow of fentanyl were “not good enough.”.
4. El Contrapunto: El Flujo de Armas Hacia Canadá.
Como contrapunto a las acusaciones sobre el fentanilo, varias voces en Canadá destacaron un problema inverso y más grave: el contrabando de armas ilegales desde Estados Unidos hacia Canadá, que contribuye al aumento de la violencia.
- There are far more illegal guns coming into canada that fentanyl found at the canadian border. Canadians are being tariffed over a lie and carney knows it.
- We have to find a way to stop the smuggling of weapons into canada. Trump wants fentanyl stopped which we don't export to the usa.carney must do something to stop the flow of weapons. Gun related crimes are rising due to smuggling from the usa!!
- Trump goes on and on about fentanyl. To counter this argument, why isn’t carney talking about the guns ?!?! the guns that are making their way north and killing our youth?!?
- The fentanyl is coming into canada from the us along with illegal handguns.
