U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Tuesday that reduce tariffs on fentanyl-related imports from China and extend a freeze on certain reciprocal levies, cementing key provisions of his trade agreement with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Effective November 10, the tariff on fentanyl-linked imports will drop from 20% to 10%. Meanwhile, the reciprocal tariff rate on Chinese goods will remain at 10% for another year, continuing a truce that lowered the original rate from 34%. The White House described the measures as “a critical step toward stabilizing bilateral trade flows and deepening cooperation on transnational narcotics enforcement.” Officials said the fentanyl tariff cut is intended to incentivize Chinese regulators to crack down on illicit drug production and export networks fueling the U.S. opioid crisis.
