Donald Trump said, “I will make a border.” promise In his 2016 campaign. “The medicine will not come. We will make a wall. You know what I’m talking about. You have confidence in me. Believe me. I will solve the problem.”
Trump did not actually solve the problem. Drug -related death In the United States, it increased 44 % in the last year of 2016 and the first semester. Trump has now decided to impose punitive tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada because they are criticizing foreign officials on their failures.
That benchmark is now a focus negotiation Aiming to avoid potentially miserable trade wars is intentionally ambiguous and justifiable. The enormous interests created by drug ban provides a powerful incentive for criminal groups to find a way around obstacles to the government, which explains why politicians have never managed. “Stop the flow“Illegal addicts.
This challenge is expanded by illegal pentanil, the main cause of drug death. Pentanil production that does not require crops is much cheaper and easier to hide than heroin production and can be performed anywhere in the world.
“Current,” parliamentary research service (CRS) famous Last year, “Most illegal pentanils in the United States appear to be miserable in Mexico using a Chinese chemical precursor.” erase I want The Chinese government must crack down on companies that produce these pioneers.
like New York Times Reported In December, Mexico Cartel already has a backup plan. They recruited “Chemical Students Study at the University of Mexico” to synthesize pentanyl precursors and “do not have to import raw materials from China.”
Trump Mexican and Canadian The government was able to work more to close its pentanil manufacturing in the country. But until they succeed in doing so, production will simply move to another place. cocaine,,, heroinand Metampletamine.
Despite his clear failure that the drug “came” during his first term, Trump is still in vain that he can do with the forced support of Mexico and Canada. “Seal the border.
The Mexican drug cartel said, “Illegal pentanil is often moved to the United States, mainly from the southwestern border to move from a car,” CRS pointed out. “USA
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport claims 90% [seized] Pentanil is inserted into the entry port and is often inserted from the vehicles led by US citizens. The main challenge to both
Mexico and American officials that prevent pentanil flow [the cartels] Relatively small amounts can satisfy our demands. “
Finding a small amount Hundreds of thousands It’s a difficult thing for cars and trucks that go to the United States every day in Mexico and Canada, and even seriously trying to put an unbearable burden on international travel and trade. Despite Trump’s promise to “seal the border,” the White House admit “Federal officials can only capture some of the pentanyl smuggling across the southern border.”
It gets worse. Vehicle transportation across the southern border seems to be the main path of Pentanil, but this is not the only choice. Pentanil also enters the United States by mail. Not possible In particular, in consideration of small size and huge amounts of packages, all shipping is intercepted.
“The drug is poured out of the level that I have never seen before complaint In December, he explains his motivation for his new tariffs. He was mentioning a drug seizure Rose dramatically After he left the office.
Trump shows an increase in supply as a sign of failure. But now he argues that more in the war on drugs will somehow win victory.
