EXCLUSIVE — Armed Services Committee members SenJoniErnst and Sen timkaine will debut bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would declare fentanyl a national security threat and unleash the Pentagon's full power on Mexican drug cartels.
Senate Armed Services Committee members Joni Ernst and Tim Kaine shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner Tuesday morning their forthcoming bipartisan, bicameral bill to use their oversight authority of the Department of Defense to force the federal government to take stronger actions against Mexican transnational criminal organizations.
“If we want to prevent future tragedies, the United States must work with Mexico to counter fentanyl trafficking across our southern border," Kaine said."This bipartisan, commonsense bill would help us create the strongest strategy for how to do that.” Ernst and Kaine maintained that enlisting the Mexican government as an equal partner in the war on fentanyl is critical, given the southern neighbor has failed to get a hold of the problem over the past five years.
