LIVE | Karoline Leavitt SHUTS DOWN Media Lies in Epic Briefing Battle Over Fentanyl!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sparred with NBC reporter Gabe Gutierrez on Thursday over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, defending a one-month exemption for automakers Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors under the USMCA trade pact. During a tense briefing, Leavitt touted Trump’s talks with the “big three” and announced reciprocal tariffs effective April 2, while clashing with Gutierrez over Canada’s role in fentanyl trafficking. She cited a 2,050% surge in northern border seizures—43 pounds last year, enough to kill 4.8 billion people—calling Canada’s efforts insufficient, as Gutierrez pressed on Mexico’s larger share, prompting Leavitt to sharply rebuke him as disrespectful to grieving American families.
