This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. These sanctions “target a very powerful cartel trafficking fentanyl in the United States.”and I add:

“The opioid crisis, and especially the rise of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, has devastated communities and claimed the lives of thousands of Americans,” Yellen said in a statement.

In this sense, he emphasized that the American President, Joe Biden is “committed to using every tool at his disposal to combat fentanyl and its precursor chemicals.” so we can put an end to these deadly supply chains.”

“Treasury has the ability to block the financial flows of these cartels that are poisoning our communities, and its top priority is going after them.”he said, before insisting he plays a “fundamental role” in the fight against drug trafficking.

He also recalled that during Over the past two years, the US government has imposed sanctions on 250 individuals and organizations associated with this type of activity at all levels. The government is working with several international partners and has implemented a number of measures with Chinese authorities, particularly to combat money laundering and organized crime, Yellen said.
