WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on 17 people and entities based in China and Mexico who it accused of enabling production of counterfeit fentanyl-laced pills, as the Biden administration seeks to stem imports of the deadly drug.
The Treasury Department said it slapped sanctions on seven entities and six people based in China, as well as one business and three people based in Mexico. (Reuters, USA, 01.06.2023)
