Director Patel [White House Press Conference]: This year, under this president, the FBI has seized nineteen hundred kilograms of Fentanyl so far. That is a thirty-one percent increase from the same time period last year.

Director Patel: While at Ministry of Public Security Headquarters, I met with my counterpart at MPS, where the Chinese government agreed on a plan to strop Fentanyl precursors. What does that mean? The People's Republic of China has fully designated and listed all thirteen precursors utilized to make Fentanyl. Furthermore, they have agreed to control seven chemical subsidiaries that are also utilized to produce this lethal drug. Effective immediately, essentially, President Trump has shut off the pipeline that creates Fentanyl, that kills tens of thousands of Americans. These substances are now banned, and they will no longer be utilized by the Mexican drug trafficking organizations, or any other DTOs around the world, to make this drug.
