Legislation introduced by Arizona Congressman Greg Staton and other lawmakers would require the State Department to come up with a strategy for working with Mexico to combat fentanyl trafficking.
Stanton re-introduced the American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act with New Jersey Republican Tom Kean. The bill would require the U.S. and Mexico to work together to stop fentanyl trafficking through increased cooperation with law enforcement, local governments and other organizations.
The legislation directs the State Department to create a strategy to strengthen technical assistance efforts, data sharing and community-level dialogue — along with a feasibility study to enhance broadband connectivity and other changes.
The State Department strategy would then be referred to Congress.
