The president of Mexico is calling for help from Chinese President Xi Jingping in dealing with the ongoing flow of fentanyl from China through Mexico and into the U.S.
MEXICAN SEIZURE OF US COMPANY'S FACILITY MARKS LATEST DIPLOMATIC FUROR AMID TENSIONS OVER FENTANYL, CARTELS "I write to you, President Xi Jinping, not to ask your help on these rude threats, but to ask you for humanitarian reasons to help us by controlling the shipments of fentanyl," he said.
Fentanyl, which is 50-100 times more potent than morphine, is responsible for over 70,000 deaths a year in the U.S. It is primarily made in Mexico using Chinese precursors and then shipped across the U.S. land border at the direction of the Mexican drug cartels. The drug is frequently mixed into counterfeit pills, meaning that users are often not aware they are ingesting the drug.The fentanyl crisis has been at the center of a growing diplomatic dispute between the U.S. and Mexico as lawmakers in the U.S. have been pushing for a more aggressive approach toward the southern neighbor and the cartels within.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has said Mexico could be doing more to help the U.S. tackle the crisis, which he said is being"unleashed on purpose" by the cartels. Republicans have called for the cartels to be branded Foreign Terrorist Organizations and have even suggested the military be used to take out the cartels’ drug labs.
