On September 15, President Trump delivered the “Major’s List” to Congress, designating the countries responsible for sourcing and transporting illicit drugs into the United States. The State Department announced the Presidential Determination of these 23 countries, with five countries—Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma, Colombia, and Venezuela—listed as having “failed demonstrably to make substantial efforts,” calling upon them to improve their counternarcotics efforts. By manufacturing and trafficking illicit drugs and precursor chemicals, these countries are threatening the safety of the United States and its citizens.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the White House Office of Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) will use every tool in our arsenal to hold these designated countries accountable and keep illicit drugs from pouring into our country and destroying American lives.
