The highly potent opioid fentanyl is a major cause of death in the
US – and the global trade of the drug is also a cause of growing
geopolitical division. Trump has claimed tariffs on Mexico
and Canada are targeting the supply of the drug; his China tariffs
have complicated efforts to stem exports of the ingredients needed
for its production, and fractures among cartels pushing fentanyl
could well reshape underworld activity worldwide. In the latest
episode of This Is Not A Drill, Emma Beals discusses the global
effects of the fentanyl trade with Vanda Felbab-Brown, director of
the Initiative on Nonstate Armed Actors and senior fellow in the
Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at the
Brookings Institution. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is
