Summary
An unflinching analysis of how cartels, fentanyl trafficking, and precursor chemicals fuel a black market, reshaping borders, budgets, and communities. Sara A. Carter, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, outlines a strategy targeting supply chains, financial networks, and multinational facilitators behind synthetic opioids. The conversation spotlights border security, clean supply chains, and accountability for manufacturers of precursor chemicals. It also details recovery-focused initiatives, homelessness solutions, prevention, and faith-centered support to protect American families.
