      The tarriffs were put in place to get the other countries (Canada, Mexico, and China) to tighten up their border security for illegal immigrants and illegal drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.

      This is the officially documented reason for the tarriffs.

          From Canada. The total amount imported or possibly even illicitly produced in the US every month is many many times that.

          I don’t know, but I will say that while 10kg doesn’t sound like a lot, for something like fentanyl that’s millions of doses.

            A quick Google search tells me that a “very high” and possibly lethal dose is two milligrams, so 10 kilograms of the stuff can kill five million people.
