Last fall, the Biden Administration issued its Determination on Major Drug Transit or Major Illicit Drug Producing Countries for Fiscal Year 2023. However, the administration just delivered the official notification of the determination to Congress. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is scheduled to travel to Beijing, and he must address China’s role in the production of the precursor chemicals for fentanyl.
The current designation, which should include any nation that produces both illicit drugs and precursor chemicals for controlled substances, includes Afghanistan, The Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Burma, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Laos, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement criticizing the Biden Administration for failing to include China, despite it being the largest source of precursor chemicals for fentanyl illicitly trafficked into the United States.
The Foreign Assistance Act defines “illicit drug producing and transit countries” as any country “that is a significant direct source of covered synthetic drugs or psychotropic drugs or other controlled substances, including precursor chemicals when those chemicals are used in the production of such drugs and substances, significantly affecting the United States.” A designation would prohibit all foreign assistance to China that is not related to international counter-narcotics agreements.
