U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is considering imposing a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports in response to China’s failure to curb fentanyl trafficking into the United States.

Trump, who was sworn in for a second term on Monday, said that his administration could start implementing tariffs on products coming from China as early as Feb. 1.
