Washington ‘used fentanyl issue’: China accuses US of ‘blackmail’ over Trump's tariff threat
Hindustan TimesChina has accused the US of exerting "tariff pressure and blackmail" after President Donald Trump threatened to slap an additional 10 per cent duty on imports from China, citing the flow of fentanyl into the country. Washington has "used the fentanyl issue to insist on tariff pressure and blackmail," the report quoted Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian as having said. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also had accused China of waging a "reverse" Opium War over fentanyl, in an interview with Fox News. China's public security ministry on Friday, said it placed seven new precursor chemicals to a domestic control list, along with 24 new ones to an export control list, and also claimed it cracked 151 cases of drug-making materials, of which it seized 1,427.4 tons in the past year, although it didn't say if these were related to fentanyl, according to the report.
