Is Trump right to point the finger at China over the fentanyl crisis?

Donald Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on China and other countries for failing to stem shipments of drugs to the US.

The nearly 121-metre Starship system took flight on November 19 from the company's Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas.
