The US will start using artificial intelligence (AI) to combat trafficking in fentanyl towards the country, the Minister of Homeland Security said this Friday, Alejandro Majorcas.

Among them is an attempt to strengthen cooperation with Mexico, which the United States lists as one of the main countries through which drugs enter their territory.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador responded that the opioid overdose crisis was a public health issue that the United States must address, and even denied that fentanyl was produced in his country, arguing that the substance was entering North America from Asia.
In his 2024 budget bill, Biden asked Congress for $46.1 billion for his drug strategy.
