Are China, Canada, and Mexico really to blame for fentanyl?

The article from MSN discusses the complex issue of fentanyl trafficking and its origins, challenging the notion that China, Canada, and Mexico are solely to blame for the U.S. fentanyl crisis. It highlights that while these countries are often cited in the supply chain, the problem is multifaceted. China has been a source of precursor chemicals, but it has taken steps to regulate these substances. Canada has been mentioned due to some shipments originating there, but the quantities are relatively small compared to other sources. Mexico has become a significant producer of fentanyl, with cartels like Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation playing key roles, yet the demand in the U.S. drives this production. The article points out that the U.S. itself contributes through its high demand for opioids, inadequate border controls, and domestic production of fentanyl. It argues for a more comprehensive approach to tackle the crisis, involving international cooperation, addressing demand, and improving domestic policies rather than just pointing fingers at other nations.
