From Fox News: China has agreed to tighten chemicals used to produce fentanyl following a visit by FBI Director Kash Patel, he announced Wednesday.
“That was the sole purpose of my trip to China to eliminate these precursors. And if successful, we would suffocate the drug trafficking organizations ability to manufacture fentanyl in places like Mexico,” Patel told reporters during a White House press briefing.
He said the FBI has seized 1,900 kilograms of the drug this year, a 31% increase from last year, or enough to kill 127 million Americans.
“The People’s Republic of China has officially designated and listed all 13 precursors used to make fentanyl. Under the leadership of President Trump, America, and the world, are safer,” he announced.
“Effective immediately, essentially President Trump has shut off the pipeline that creates fentanyl, that kills tens of thousands of Americans. These substances are now banned,” Patel said Wednesday.
