China and Mexico have stonewalled “information-sharing” and other “basic" steps to counteract the fentanyl crisis in the United States, according to federal officials.
“The question I get asked when I'm out in the public more than any other is, why would these cartels kill their customers?” Administrator Anne Milgram, who leads the Drug Enforcement Agency, told lawmakers."And the answer today is that fentanyl is so addictive that the cartels are using it to drive addiction. And, for them, if a user dies, it is the cost of doing business.
And Mexico, for its part, similarly has proven uncooperative with DEA officials in terms of information-sharing, law enforcement, and the extradition of “232 drug-related defendants” who will face charges in the U.S. if Mexican officials transfer them into American custody, according to Milgram.
