President Biden is expected to announce a controversial deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at slowing the deadly flood of fentanyl across the United States.
The two leaders are tipped to announce a deal as they meet Wednesday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco, one of the cities most blighted by what has become the deadliest drug in the US.
“We’re hoping to see some progress on that issue this coming week,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday, ahead of the meeting.
“That could then open the door to further cooperation on other issues where we aren’t just managing things, but we’re actually delivering tangible results,” he added.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is willing to carry out anti-drug trafficking measures with the US on the basis of “equality and mutual respect,” according to Bloomberg.
Under the terms of the agreement, China would crack down on chemical companies making the compounds used to produce fentanyl, sources familiar with the negotiations told Bloomberg.
However, some experts warn the deal may fall apart if the Biden administration continues to be critical of Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party — while many Republicans see it as part of Biden making “repeated concessions” to Beijing.
The Chinese embassy in Washington has also criticized the move, with a spokesman saying in May: “The US sanctions against Chinese companies and citizens will add more obstacles to China-US counter-narcotics cooperation.”
Chinese businesses are supplying Mexican drug cartels with the chemicals used to make fentanyl — an opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine.

“10% for the Big Guy” ™
That slow things by 10%.
“Don’t worry JoJo, your son will still get his supply of crack and asian hookers.”
~Xi
Just close the border, retard.
What? A 10% levy?
Slow it?? Why not STOP IT?
Cutting back to 5 million tons per day. Instead of the 20 million tons a day they are currently delivering.
pez makes drug deal,,,that’s a new one
Like father like son.

************************************************************
between Biden and Ping it’s impossible to decide who is the most untrustworthy..................u probably have to say Biden.
Kill us more slowly, Xi.
OK. But you better not interfere with our bottom line.
Bidet will get rolled, as usual.
Announce.
Happen is another thing.
Why should we need to make a “deal” with people who are shipping illegal product?
so they know the Chinese Communist Party is a very big Drug Dealer
The flood with this highly toxic drug and then we make deal with them? Sounds like this administration.
“SLOW?”
How about stopping the flow of fentanyl all at once? NOPE!
Biden is the master of half ass work at everything he has done in life.
How did he get elected?
It was a plan that included the Covid Pandemic, (Fauci should be hanged) followed by mail in ballots and then the blatant stuffing of ballot boxes LATE, in some cases a week or so.
Who started this “Banana Republic” act that we see on the National Stage?
No one other than Barack Hussein Obama!
He wanted a third term in office in order to complete the ruination of our Republic.
Obama should swing next to Fauci!
Slow???
What’s wrong with “stop”?
Sort of like the opium wars being fought all over again, but in reverse. Instead of forcing the Chinese to buy and support fentanyl sales, we want them to stop selling fentanyl.
Drug overdoses have been happening since the invention of drugs... Blaming them on fentanyl is a joke.
The legalization and acceptance of drugs and drug use is what causes more overdoses... Not the drugs.
We should start paying Indians to produce crystal meth and send it into china.
See how they like it.
