1. The situation is dire in the USA
In short, the White House has issued a clear statement.
President Donald J. Trump has decided that fighting fentanyl as a drug is not enough; he now views it as a weapon of mass destruction. In other words, the threat level has reached a critical level. He has ordered prosecutors to step up prosecutions and arrests - to take decisive action.
2. The government is fueling the crisis
The Treasury and State Departments have taken action to freeze assets, accounts and anything associated with fentanyl manufacturers and distributors. The Departments of Defense and Homeland Security have been ordered to revamp their response plans to respond to any chemical attack as fentanyl becomes a more serious threat than ever.
3. Fentanyl is more dangerous than ever
It is not just a drug; it is a powerful poison, Trump said. Two milligrams is enough to kill a person. These groups use their income to fund terrorism, street fighting, and all sorts of other crimes. So he decided, "Okay, now this is a weapon of mass destruction."
4. Cracking down on gangs
Trump has designated many gangs as terrorist organizations, imposed taxes on countries that fail to control the flow of drugs, and even authorized military strikes to disrupt drug networks. In other words, he is determined to destroy them all.
5. Only one goal
Trump has said he will not rest until fentanyl is off the streets and families are safe. In short, he is determined to fight to the bitter end.
