"China urges the U.S. side to stop dumping blame and to stop smear attacks on China,"
China's foreign ministry reportedly demanded that those involved, who they labeled as "illegally arrested" to be released. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco gave a comment regarding the situation, still talking about fentanyl and why it was such a big threat.
Dept Atty. General Lisa Monaco: "Fentanyl poses a singular threat, not only because the smallest doses can be lethal, but because fentanyl does not occur in nature. It is entirely man-made."
Recently, Senator Elizabeth Warren warned about how crypto was assisting in the funding of the fentanyl trade. The US senator said that there were groups that accepted crypto as payment for these drugs.
