These news items emphasize the trend of smuggling fentanyl into the U.S. from Mexico, as well as the production of prescription pills containing fentanyl. One claim made in the news item that could be subject to misinformation is the statement that "China is the primary source of fentanyl sent to Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, according to the DEA." While it's true that China has been identified as a major source of fentanyl, attributing it as the "primary source" might oversimplify the supply chain involved in the production and distribution of fentanyl.
