U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has characterized fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction" being shipped from China to the United States, primarily targeting Americans aged 18 to 34. Bondi emphasized that fentanyl kills approximately 75,000 Americans annually and highlighted that drug addiction is reportedly low in China because the substance is exported rather than consumed domestically. She has been publicly demonstrating the lethality of fentanyl by carrying a vial of fake fentanyl to illustrate how a small amount can be fatal. The Trump administration has intensified efforts to crack down on fentanyl traffickers, aiming to reduce drug-related deaths and protect American communities. Lawmakers supporting these efforts have praised the administration's actions as part of an "America First" approach to combating the opioid crisis.
