Is Fentanyl crisis a justifiable reason for U.S. to impose tariffs?

> [..] the U.S. is the world's largest producer and consumer of fentanyl-related substances, consuming 80 percent of the global opioid supply despite having only 5% of the world's population.

> [..] growing social inequalities, wealth disparities, and systemic racism in the U.S., which have left many young people disillusioned and turning to drugs as a coping mechanism.

The US did this to a green card holder. I won't be visiting or even transiting the US any time soon.

“…stripped naked, put in a cold shower by 2 officials…placed on a mat in a bright room w/other people at the airport, w/little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, & was denied access to his medication for anxiety & depression.”

@Npars01 @eff Good point. #RightToRepair is now proven to be a necessity of #NationalSecurity for every country buying defence, intelligence, or critical infrastructure materials with any non-passive parts or any tied services from any other county.

Until they get rid of their mafia government and restore democracy and the rule of law, the #USA is now about as trustworthy a supply chain source as China under the #CCP.

Take note, #Canada. (Feel free to tag your own countries and their political discourse, other Right-to-Repair people.)

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced an interim 'war-footing' cabinet of only 24 ministers.
