US Ambassador Ken Salazarconfirmed that lawsuits and arrests carried out by the Ministry of Justice against four Chinese companies and eight entities for alleged illicit trafficking fentanyl prevented the death of 25 million Americans.
The diplomat said that only one of these companies had shipped 200 kg of fentanyl-related precursors to the US, “an amount capable of producing doses sufficient to kill 25 million Americans.”
“The reality of fentanyl trafficking is changing. Its predecessors are transported to the USA and Mexico. Criminals mask chemicals and change labels to avoid detection, try to hide their money and use social media to promote their malicious product.”

He added that the production of fentanyl begins with its precursors, those who sell or transport them will be held accountable.
Ken Salazar stressed that the same transnational criminal organizations that traffic in fentanyl they also trade arms and people.
For this reason, he said, “cooperating with Mexico to crack down on trafficking in fentanyl and its precursors is critical.”
In that sense, I take this opportunity to highlight President Joe Biden’s visit to Mexico earlier this year and two visits by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the president’s national security adviser.
In addition to the dialogues established by the EU and Mexican security teams, work together to fight fentanyl and precursor trafficking.
Late May last year, the governments of Mexico and the United States met at the National Palace to review migratory flow, cooperation against fentanyl trafficking and gun control.
“The fentanyl issue and the progress made has been noticed. Mexico is moving forward a lot, especially the minister of the navy, the national security laboratory has been integrated, the issue of laboratories and coordination of work is important, because crime is becoming more sophisticated every day,” Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard told the media at the time. , after meeting.
Another topic that Ebrard drew attention to was the illicit arms trade, in which he indicated that the intention of the US government was to control the flow of long arms, and indicated that between 2020 and 2022 in Mexico Organized crime had 26,000 long guns confiscated.
The meeting was attended by White House National Security Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall.
“Joint Immigration Meeting with Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, White House National Security Adviser; Ambassador Ken Salazar and other US government officials. Special thanks to the governors of the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Oaxaca and Veracruz,” wrote López Obrador on Twitter.
