Despite US requests, China and Mexico are not helping in the fight against fentanyl
Assistant Secretary Todd Robinson of the United States Department of State's Office on Drugs and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, spoke out against this practice yesterday in the United States Senate
To confront "a situation that we cannot solve just within our borders," as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez described it, Robinson and other government officials testified before US legislators. Because of a lack of international cooperation, drug cartels can import raw materials from China and then manufacture one of the world's deadliest drugs in Mexico for distribution in the United States, often to consumers who are under the false impression that they are purchasing safe prescription medications.
