Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!
2. I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail … Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America.
3. Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before.
4. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem.
5. Millions of people have died because of the fentanyl that comes over the border.
6. Yeah, they've been good, but that's also due to us – mostly due to us. It's right now very hard to come through the border, but look: the damage has been done. We've lost millions of people due to fentanyl. It comes mostly from China, but it comes through Mexico, and it comes through Canada.
7. China will likewise be charged an additional 10% Tariff on that date. The April Second Reciprocal Tariff date will remain in full force and effect.
8. We've been taken advantage of, as a countrty, for a long period of time.
9. Therefore, the direct implication is that the dollar will remain strong, and global central banks will find it hard to relax policies unless they accept currency depreciation… This is positive for US growth in the short run but bad for the rest of the world.
Mike Johnson
Republican Party
1. That is not part of this equation. We're talking about finding efficiencies in every program but not cutting benefits for people who rightly deserve that.
Claudia Sheinbaum
Morena Party
1. It is widely known that the chemical precursors used to produce fentanyl and other synthetic drugs are illegally entering Canada, the United States, and Mexico from Asian countries.
2. This underscores the urgent need for international collaboration.
3. We do not produce weapons. We do not consume the synthetic drugs.
Justin Trudeau
Liberal Party
1. This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on, and that's what we'll do.
Chrystia Freeland
Liberal Party
1. Canada places the highest priority on border security and the integrity of our shared border. Our relationship today is balanced and mutually beneficial, particularly for American workers.
2. We will of course continue to discuss these issues with the incoming administration.
3. Today, Canada buys more from the United States than China, Japan, France and the UK combined.
Liu Pengyu
Chinese Embassy
1. China believes that China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature. No one will win a trade war or a tariff war.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
1. The U.S. side should cherish China's goodwill and safeguard the hard-won sound situation of Sino-US drug control cooperation.
Robert Habeck
1. We have to be prepared for the fact that something similar could also happen to Europe or Germany.
