Part 5/6:
Tackling the Fentanyl Crisis
The discussions also brought attention to critical issues such as the fentanyl crisis affecting the United States. A significant part of the talks was aimed at addressing the flow of fentanyl from China, which has contributed to widespread addiction and fatalities within the U.S. The negotiations included assertions from the Chinese side committing to halt the export of this substance, with a connected incentive to alleviate tariffs that have been imposed on Chinese goods.
