💨 Abstract

The US Annual Threat Assessment 2025 report has identified China and India as major state actors enabling illicit fentanyl production by criminal groups. This synthetic opioid has led to over 55,000 deaths in the US between October 2023 and September 2024. China remains the primary source of illicit fentanyl precursors and equipment, followed by India.
