That’s why, over the last four years, I made +beating the opioid epidemic a central focus of my Unity Agenda at +home—and my cooperation with world leaders abroad. +  +Earlier this week, we saw the impact: Mexican security forces seized +more than twenty million doses of illicit fentanyl—enough to kill 15 +percent of all Americans. I want to thank President Claudia Sheinbaum +for her leadership and partnership that made this possible, and the many +military and law enforcement officials on both sides of the border who +have dedicated their lives to countering fentanyl, disrupting +traffickers, and saving their fellow citizens. It matters. +  +And we won’t let up. Under my Administration, we have seized more +fentanyl at our border in the last two years, than the previous five +years combined. We’ve put dozens of major cartel leaders and money +launderers behind bars. And latest data shows over a 14 percent drop in +overdose deaths across the nation—that’s the largest decrease on +record. +  +These aren’t just facts and figures. They are families. Families who +don’t have to bear the loss of a child, or parent, or spouse. So today, +with partners around the world—including Mexico—we vow to double down on +our work to size more drugs. To stop more traffickers. To save more +lives. And to we make it clear: enough is enough. + +\###
