I am all for using every avenue including telling other countries to control their end of it. Mexico and China make too much money in the drug and fentanyl trade to stop it without "motivation" and Trump just gave them a reason to stop turning a blind eye.

end the war on drugs…immediately. You want Donald Trump to change the way we do things right? Start there. Disband the DEA. Deschedule cannabis, cocaine and opiate derivatives. Take those trillions of dollars saved and offer 12 month acute detox care for anyone who wants it, and require it for anyone convicted of an ancillary crime. Develop the finest public health program the world has ever seen to reduce the demand for addictive drugs.


100% this. You have to treat the reasons behind the demand. Which are vast and complex.

Maybe look a little deeper than unsourced xeets.

MEXICO CITY -- President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn’t stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border.

Sheinbaum said she was willing to engage in talks on the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem.

“One tariff would be followed by another in response, and so on until we put at risk common businesses,” Sheinbaum said, referring to U.S. automakers that have plants on both sides of the border.

She said Tuesday that Mexico had done a lot to stem the flow of migrants, noting “caravans of migrants no longer reach the border.” However, Mexico's efforts to fight drugs like the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl — which is manufactured by Mexican cartels using chemicals imported from China — have weakened in the last year.

Sheinbaum said Mexico suffered from an influx of weapons smuggled in from the United States, and said the flow of drugs “is a problem of public health and consumption in your country’s society.”

She really said this?

That said, the fentanyl cat is out of the bag. It's potency makes it super easy to smuggle any which way into the US. Even more so with newer synthetic opioids that are more potent than Fentanyl. It's here. It's not going away. Let's deal with it.

we’ve been thru this already. These tariffs will solve the illegal immigration problem and the illegal drug trade problem simultaneously while boosting the US economy and curing the common cold. It’s truly amazing and we kneel at the genius of it while admitting our own stupidity at not thinking about it before

ask yourself an honest question
do you believe that Donald Trump understands what a tariff is and what it does?

here is a economics lesson in the case that he (or you) don’t

Ive got a better Idea. Why dont we tax US businesses more and be friendlier to Chinese businesses?
