I'm John Batson, Gordon Chang, at Gordon Chi Chang, my colleague and co-host,

we turn to the matter of trade.

During the wartime, what we're looking at is trade coming to a near halt because of the decision by one combatant to close the straight-of-four moves.

However, trade was a major debating point before the war, and the day that the war ends, it will be a major point again.

And Gordon and I are very pleased to welcome our guide on manufacturing in trade for many years.

Alan Tonnelson, he blogs at Reality Check, and we're looking at the tariffs that were said to be unconstitutional.

I believe the word illegal was used in the Supreme Court decision before the war

now have subsets of tariffs that are existing.

But Gordon, you're concerned about fentanyl.

How so, Gordon?

Well, Sarah Carter, who's basically our drug czar these days, gave a speech at the UN reporting that China has not reduced the flow of fentanyl precursors, despite the promise of Xi Jinping to President Trump last year.

This means Xi Jinping has now dishonored four promises to American presidents.

2016 to President Obama, 2018 to President Trump,

2023 to President Biden, and 2025 to President Trump.

The question is, why are we talking to these people?

They don't honor any promises.

So let me understand, Gordon.

The fentanyl that was

flowing before is flowing afterwards. There's been no disruption in the chain. That's right. And the

reason this is a trade issue is because President Trump imposed additional tariffs on China,

20 percent for the fentanyl trade. Alan, a very good day to you.

The fentanyl trade seems specific to me to the catastrophe that's hit America.
