Designating Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

[EO 14367] is an executive action signed by President (name not provided in this text) that designates illicit fentanyl and core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction (Sec. 1). The order directs the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to take specific enforcement, financial, military-support, and intelligence actions (Sec. 2). It defines "illicit fentanyl" and "core precursor chemicals" using the Controlled Substances Act and examples (Sec. 3). This matters because it changes how the federal government treats fentanyl, which can affect prosecutions, financial controls, military support, and community safety (Sec. 1; Sec. 2).
