Le Monde: Mexican troops seize over 2000 pounds of fentanyl in biggest catch in country's history, officials say
Mexican troops seize over 2000 pounds of fentanyl in biggest catch in country's history, officials say
Mexican military forces seized over a ton of fentanyl pills in Sinaloa, marking the largest capture of the opioid in the nation's history. This operation follows a notable decline in fentanyl seizures earlier this year and comes amid pressure from the U.S. for Mexico to address drug trafficking.

Experts suggest that the timing of these seizures indicates a response to U.S. demands, particularly from President-elect Donald Trump, who threatened tariffs unless Mexico tightened its drug control measures. Despite this significant bust, analysts warn that without dismantling production facilities, fentanyl manufacturing will persist.
