Global Crackdown on Fentanyl Trafficking Spurs US-Mexico-China Cooperation and Sanctions.

The US Department of Justice has announced charges against more than two dozen members of the Sinaloa Cartel's Chapitos network, including four sons of notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, for their alleged involvement in a global drug trafficking network that has committed gruesome crimes against rivals and helped fuel the fentanyl crisis in the US. The charges also seek to expose China's role in fueling the fentanyl crisis, with four at-large Chinese nationals charged for allegedly being part of the network that provides the Sinaloa cartel with the precursor chemicals necessary to make finished fentanyl. The operation is described as "the most ambitious fentanyl prosecution in American history."
