The progress highlighted by the @WhiteHouse reflects two governments working complementary fronts against the same threat. We commend ONDCP Director @SaraCarterDC for advancing the demand side, from prevention and education to expanding access to naloxone and treatment that saves lives inside the United States. Mexico's contribution is the operational front. Today, Minister @OHarfuch presented the scale of that effort: •⁠ ⁠59,582 arrests linked to criminal networks. •⁠ ⁠31,366 illegal firearms seized. •⁠ ⁠2.3+ tons and 5.5 million fentanyl pills removed from circulation. •⁠ ⁠2,627 clandestine drug laboratories dismantled. Prevention that protects Americans at home and enforcement that dismantles networks at the source are two halves of one strategy. Together they save lives on both sides of the border. 🔗 whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/…
