If cartels are placed on the list, then maybe foreign terrorist organizations (FTO) will also be included.

To put a stop to the importation of fentanyl into the United States, Republican lawmakers are putting pressure on President Joe Biden to host a meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador at the White House the following month.

When Lopez Obrador made the announcement earlier this month that he would not be attending the Summit of the Americas, he also said that he and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto will meet with President Joe Biden at the White House in July.

Republicans are urging President Biden to press Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on the issue of drug traffickers trafficking fentanyl into the United States when the two meet next month.

Republicans think that President Biden ought to address the issue of fentanyl immediately upon taking office.

The statement was made by Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican from Tennessee, during an interview with the authorities. ” He said, “If I had to prioritize anything for that meeting, it would be fentanyl.” “Following that, difficulties with border security and national security that we share in common with Mexico would arise.”
