The U.S. may announce a deal with Mexico to counter fentanyl coming across the border, sources tell NBCNews. Mexican police will focus on tracking materials for fentanyl being shipped and the U.S. will tightly control firearms crossing into Mexico.
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 70,000 people in the U.S. died from synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, in 2021, the latest year for which its data is available.
As a result, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has agreed to more tightly monitor the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico, the sources said. Part of the struggle to curb the flow of fentanyl from Mexico is that Mexico is experiencing high levels of violence, absorbing the attention of its police and military. Four Americans were kidnapped and two were killed this month in Mexico.
