Mexican President Says Fentanyl Is a U.S Problem

“Mexico’s president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary,” the AP reports.

“President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction.”

“He went on to recite a list of reasons why Americans might be turning to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick grown children out of their houses and people who put elderly relatives in old-age homes ‘and visit them once a year.’”
