unless the countries move to halt flows of illegal immigrants and the deadly opioid fentanyl into the U.S.

I really hate how often this statement is repeated without the context that these tariffs are being enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which specifically allows the president to impose economic regulations by executive order in response to a specific state of emergency.

That’s why they keep talking about fentanyl and immigrants; Because those are their supposed justifications for being allowed to do this without involving congress.
