U.S. would block assets of Chinese individuals and businesses linked to illegal fentanyl.
This bill would make a current presidential order against the global illegal drug trade a permanent law. It would also give the President new power to freeze money and property. This power would target people and businesses in China that help spread illegal synthetic drugs like fentanyl or their ingredients. The goal is to stop these dangerous drugs by going after those who make and move them.
Today, an Executive Order allows sanctions on foreign persons involved in the global illegal drug trade. If this bill passes, that order would become permanent law. Additionally, the President would gain new, specific authority to block property and restrict financial accounts of Chinese individuals, businesses, and government entities directly involved in producing or spreading illegal synthetic narcotics like fentanyl, starting 180 days after the bill becomes law.
