America's opioid epidemic continues to claim lives at an alarming rate, with one American dying of a drug overdose every five minutes. While emotions run high, pointing fingers at other countries offers little in the way of solutions. Instead, the focus should be on reducing the domestic demand for fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. Additionally, enhancing international cooperation to disrupt drug trafficking networks is crucial. By addressing both supply and demand, the U.S. can make meaningful strides in combating this devastating crisis.
