Esteban Moctezuma said that Mexico and the US have a responsibility to combat fentanyl trafficking. He also vindicated the government's work to curb it.
Mexico's ambassador to the United States, Esteban Moctezuma, said Friday that the vast majority of fentanyl seized at the border is trafficked by U.S. citizens and stressed that the "responsibility" for combating it lies with both countries.
"We are seeing that in 85% of the seizures at the border made by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) who are transporting the drug are not migrants, they are American citizens," he said at a press conference in Washington with the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar.
Moctezuma said that both nations have a responsibility to combat it and vindicated the Mexican government's work to curb the arrival of chemicals from Asia used in drug production.
Likewise, the ambassador also gave as an example the fact that the Navy is responsible for Mexican ports so that "there is greater control", as well as the letter sent by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, asking for greater collaboration.
"The results are there for all to see, that is to say, there has been a much greater seizure of substances related to the production of methamphetamines and also of fentanyl itself, which has arrived from abroad", he stated.

Mexico's ambassador to the United States, Esteban Moctezuma, assured this Friday that the vast majority of fentanyl seized at the border is trafficked by U.S. citizens and stressed that the "responsibility" to combat it belongs to both countries.
"We are seeing that in 85% of the seizures at the border made by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) who are transporting the drug are not migrants, they are American citizens," he said at a press conference in Washington with the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar.

Likewise, the ambassador also gave as an example the fact that the Navy is responsible for Mexican ports so that "there is greater control", as well as the letter sent by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, asking for greater collaboration.
"The results are there for all to see, that is to say, there has been a much greater seizure of substances related to the production of methamphetamines and also of fentanyl itself, which has arrived from abroad", he stated.
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid manufactured by Mexican cartels using chemicals from China and trafficked to the United States, where more than 70,000 people died last year from overdoses of the substance.
Democrat Joe Biden's administration assured that Mexico should do more to stop this drug, but López Obrador doubts that fentanyl is produced in Mexican territory, despite the fact that federal authorities dismantle hundreds of clandestine laboratories of this substance.
At the press conference, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, explained that fentanyl "is a very difficult problem" for his country, which is why the United States launched a global coalition against this opioid, in which Mexico joins but China declines to participate.
"We are working hard against fentanyl and we know that the United States and Mexico have to include the participation of China because that is where the precursors come from and we are working hard with that," he said.
The diplomat also claimed that the Biden administration responded to Mexico's demand to curb U.S. arms trafficking to the Latin American country.
"With regard to arms trafficking, we are at a very historic stage. What we are doing has never been done before", he commented, since the United States passed a law to consider arms trafficking as a "serious crime".

DeleteAmericans are the world’s junkies. Biggest consumers of drugs. Their biggest cities look like zoo’s for drug addicts. They need to focus on cleaning up their own problems before worrying about other countries.
ReplyDeleteThat clown comment of yours isn't going to stop the Americans from arresting dope pushers genius. Just the fact that they're snatching them the fuck up within whatever country they hide in goes to show you who's really boss there.
Delete2:28 Fent and P2P Meth kinda negate that argument. Your killing society by dealing that garbage and we feel no pain for you.
DeleteThe USA, unfortunately, is Disneyland for drug addicts.
DeleteIt’s like the old frying pan egg .This is your brain on drugs.Remember that commercial?Im in my 50’s ha ha smoke a little pot do some acid powder coke you’ll be ok
Delete3:59
DeleteAny questions?
Breaking news.. the wife of "Mosca" Torres has just been murdered!
ReplyDeleteCorrection, his husband was killed.
DeleteWhere can we read it at ?
DeleteWho's Mosca? Affiliated with Manuel Torres?
DeleteSol is on assignment you have to wait until Monday.
DeleteSource? Not on the news.
DeleteDamm that guy Montezuma sure likes to repeat himself. I think I finally got the message though that the vast majority of fentanyl seized at the border is trafficked by American Citizens....
ReplyDeleteMoctezuma misstating the facts. Americans account for 85% of all persons arrested at the border for narcotics violations. The vast majority of these arrests are for small amounts of drugs, mostly marijuana. For importing commercial quantities, more than 90% of all arrests are arrests of foreign nationals.
ReplyDeleteMF trying to make it look like it's the Americans, WTF the cartels have it brought into USA illegally.
DeleteIf you have dual citizenship like chapos kids, so you are technically an americans and than you move fent to the north…his statement is right but it misses the mexican part. At the end its all just talk and no action.
DeleteThey don't have dual citizenship.
DeleteIt's like this, if people don't use illegal drugs in the US, then no one will od on them. Responsibility for your own actions is accountability.
DeleteMost raw comes straight from china, and then, it goes to laboratories to get cut with caffeine and sugar(malitol, xylitol etc..)then sold and also pressed into pills and also some cut into real H. Pretty sure that’s what most of the labs are. Not to say that they don’t ptufrom precursors too but most of the labs are just cutting and pressing labs. But the states say every labs is a production lab…or course
ReplyDeleteYour high and litterly know nothing. Lol why you even write that bs.😂 😂 🤣 😅
Delete8:00 I agree. But I do think that about 25% of them do manufacture it. Although most don't.
DeleteThey forgot to say its mexican americans, chicanos, who have family in México. Not white, black, nor oriental. Once its in the usa many diferente groups traffic drugs like gangs, bikers, crips, gángster disciples, latín Kings, asian triads even canadians and italian mafia.
ReplyDeleteNo, they didn't forget to say that. Because it mostly isn't Mexican Americas. Alot of whites cross it as well as some blacks. Whites might be the main sub group though.
Delete3:05 nope. It's Mexican American
DeleteAnyone know were I can get some meth?
