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.

didn't it turn out to be like 10 kg of fentanyl total, ever?

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.

it's also one shipment.

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.
