FBI Director Kash Patel has announced a significant breakthrough in the global fight against fentanyl, revealing an agreement between the US and China to halt the flow of chemical precursors used in manufacturing the deadly opioid. The deal, reached after intense diplomatic efforts led by President Donald Trump, marks a major milestone in the war on opioids. Patel, who led a high-level delegation to Asia, praised the outcome as a 'historic success,' emphasizing the importance of targeting fentanyl precursors in the fight against the crisis. 'Cut off the precursors, and you crush the drug trafficking industry and starve critical deadly drug pipelines fueled by cartels in Mexico,' he explained. The agreement, which includes a crackdown on 13 listed fentanyl precursors and 7 chemical subsidiaries, is seen as a major blow to traffickers and a significant win for American families. Patel credited President Trump's leadership and direct engagement with Chinese President Xi Jinping for making the deal possible, hailing it as a testament to the 'tremendous team' working to address the crisis. The deal is expected to have a significant impact on the flow of fentanyl into the US, saving countless American lives and marking a major step forward in the fight against the opioid epidemic. As Patel noted, 'This will be a huge asset for the @FBI and our partners in saving American lives and defeating the fentanyl crisis.'
