Expands U.S. power to sanction foreign governments and individuals involved in opioid trafficking.
This bill would give the U.S. government more tools to fight the flow of fentanyl and other opioids into the country. It would make it easier to sanction foreign governments, companies, and individuals involved in opioid trafficking, especially those from China. It also requires new reports on how countries like China, India, and Mexico contribute to the drug trade.
Today, the U.S. government sanctions foreign persons involved in fentanyl trafficking, with those powers set to expire in about five years from the Fentanyl Sanctions Act's enactment. This bill would extend those sanctioning powers until December 31, 2030, and expand them to include foreign government agencies and their officials. It would also require the President to prioritize identifying Chinese individuals and companies involved in the fentanyl supply chain, which is not currently a specific mandate.
