The Treasury Department on Tuesday designated 28 people and entities in China and Canada allegedly involved in the large-scale manufacture and distribution of fentanyl in the US.
The action freezes assets held by those designated and prohibits Americans from transacting with them. Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said the department would also pursue friends and family members of the designated individuals who stand to gain from the sale of illicit drugs.
