Mexico's Historic Fentanyl Seizure Follows US Tariff Threats

Mexican authorities have made the largest fentanyl bust in the country's history, seizing over a ton of the synthetic opioid in Sinaloa, equivalent to more than 20 million doses. This comes shortly after US President-elect Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Mexican goods over drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The operation, led by Mexico's navy, resulted in two arrests and the seizure of weapons. Despite this success, Sinaloa has experienced a surge in violence, linked to internal cartel conflicts following the arrest of key leaders.
