Mexico Achieves Record Fentanyl Seizures Amid U.S. Pressure

In a significant move, Mexican authorities have seized over a ton of fentanyl in their largest drug bust to date, intercepting more than 20 million doses in Sinaloa. This record haul comes just days after former President Trump issued threats of tariffs aimed at combating drug trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border. The operation has been seen as a response to U.S. pressure, marking a decisive strike against the Sinaloa Cartel and underscoring the ongoing challenges in managing drug-related issues. Additionally, Mexico detained more than 5,200 migrants in a single day, further highlighting its commitment to addressing both drug and immigration concerns.
