A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the trafficking of illicit fentanyl into the United States from Mexico and China. Expresses the sense of the Senate that: the use of illicit fentanyl in the United States and the resulting overdose deaths are a public health crisis; the trafficking of illicit fentanyl into the United States, especially by transnational criminal organizations, is a problem that requires close cooperation between the U.S. government and the governments of Mexico and China; and all three such countries should develop joint actions to stop such trafficking. Calls for the United States to: support the efforts of, and use its diplomatic and law enforcement resources in partnership with, the governments of Mexico and China to stop such trafficking; take further measures to reduce and prevent heroin and fentanyl consumption through the use of evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery services; and provide access to treatment and rehabilitation to help individuals with substance use disorders recover.
