President Donald Trump will not impose tariffs on Mexico for at least a month as the two sides continue to negotiate on how to counter illegal immigration and drug trafficking at the border.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is prodding Congress to help him do more to combat the scourge of fentanyl before he leaves office.

The Democratic administration is making the new policy push as Republican former President Donald Trump steps up attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, painting her as Biden’s feckless lieutenant in the battle to slow the illegal drugs and immigrants without authorization coming into the United States from Mexico.

Beijing’s communist government is supporting illicit trade in deadly fentanyl by offering tax rebates and other incentives to manufacturers in China, according to a bipartisan report by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

An investigation by the committee, based on data gathered from the Chinese government’s internet, revealed extensive links between fentanyl trafficking and the Chinese government which is under tight control by the CCP. 

China is directly subsidizing production of illicit fentanyl precursors for sale abroad and fueling the U.S. opioid crisis, a U.S. congressional committee said on Tuesday, releasing findings from an investigation it said unveiled Beijing's incentives for the deadly chemicals.

China continues to provide subsidies in the form of value-added tax rebates to its companies that manufacture fentanyl analogues, precursors and other synthetic narcotics, so long as they sell them outside of China, the House of Representatives' select committee on China said in a report.

Investigators for a U.S. House committee released a report on Tuesday detailing what they describe as new evidence the Chinese government is continuing to "directly" subsidize "the manufacturing and export of illicit fentanyl."

According to the report, Chinese officials encourage production of precursor chemicals by giving "monetary grants and awards to companies openly trafficking illicit fentanyl materials."

China is knowingly funding and fueling the United States’ fentanyl crisis to profit from the deadly opioid epidemic, according to a report published Tuesday that details a months-long investigation by the House Select Committee on China.

The Chinese Communist Party “directly subsidizes” the manufacture and export of fentanyl materials through tax rebates, gives money to companies openly trafficking these materials, and tips off drug traffickers when the U.S. government seeks to investigate them.
