The Biden administration didn\u2019t even do it,\u201d Federal Bureau of Investigation Director\u00a0Kash Patel\u00a0said on Fox News\u2019 \u201cSunday Morning Futures\u201d with Maria Bartiromo. Patel recalled his recent trip to China with President Donald Trump, aimed at halting the flow of fentanyl ingredients out of the communist nation.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Visit your state page to pray.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFentanyl\u2014it\u2019s not like cocaine or marijuana, where it starts naturally in a grow house or a grow facility or grow yards and then is produced into an ultimate chemical and drug. Fentanyl is purely chemically created,\u201d Patel explained. \u201cIf you take the ingredients\u2014these precursors that we\u2019re talking about, these chemicals that we\u2019re talking about\u2014and you shut off their flow, then the Mexican drug cartels cannot make it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Biden could have listed one or two or three of the precursors. Zero. Trump got it done, listing all 13 precursors and restricting all seven chemicals, essentially shutting off the pipeline that allows the Mexican drug traffickers to create fentanyl.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Under the\u00a0Biden administration, the U.S. experienced an overwhelming influx of drugs crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, with reports showing record-high levels of\u00a0fentanyl overdose deaths.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went there, and we got the agreement solidified, and it\u2019s already in place. And we\u2019re going to see immediate results in immediate American lives saved by the hundreds of thousands, thanks to President Trump\u2019s brilliant leadership and Attorney General [Pam] Bondi\u2019s care and commitment to this issue,\u201d Patel added.\n<\/p>\n<p>Patel joined White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt last week to discuss the first trip by an FBI director to China in 10 years and the agreement Trump and\u00a0Chinese President Xi\u00a0Jinping have reached in dealing with the fentanyl crisis.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must attack fentanyl precursors, the ingredients necessary to make this lethal drug. That was the sole purpose of my trip to China to eliminate these precursors, and, if successful, we would suffocate the drug trafficking organization\u2019s ability to manufacture fentanyl in places like Mexico. This was the first time an FBI director has been to China in over a decade and received the audience with his counterpart to address this matter directly,\u201d Patel told the press.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd again, thanks to President Trump\u2019s direct engagement with President Xi, the government of China committed fully to my engagement there on the ground in Beijing at a level never seen before.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<h4><span data-teams=\"true\">Share your prayers for President Trump, Kash Patel and the rest of the Trump administration below.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><em>This article was originally published at The Daily Signal.
