Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador sent a letter to Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Tuesday asking Beijing to help “control” fentanyl imports, in particular requesting information on manufacturers and shipments.
López Obrador, commonly known by his initials AMLO, read the letter he sent to Xi to reporters during a press conference on Tuesday. The bulk of the letter was dedicated to condemning the United States and denying that Mexico participates in the manufacturing of any fentanyl.

Fentanyl, a highly toxic opioid, has approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used as a painkiller in limited circumstances but has increasingly been found in America’s illicit heroin supply or cut into doses of other drugs, prominently cocaine. While most illegal fentanyl in America once came directly from China, the world’s top manufacturer of the drug, law enforcement action to keep Chinese-made fentanyl out has led to traffickers attempting to ship the drug through third countries. Mexico is a top source of fentanyl currently, resulting in mass seizures on the U.S. southern border. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California described San Diego, for example, as a “national epicenter for fentanyl trafficking” last year.
