Beijing’s foreign ministry says fentanyl is US’ own problem and China provided support ‘out of a humanitarian spirit’.
China has called on the United States to “cherish” Beijing’s anti-drug cooperation as Donald Trump vowed to impose an additional tariff that he said was in response to fentanyl smuggling.
The US president-elect said on social media on Monday that he would impose new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada from his first day in office on January 20.
Trump said his administration “will be charging China an additional 10 per cent tariff, above any additional tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States” until China effectively stopped fentanyl shipments to the US.
