Can the Fentanyl Epidemic Be Stopped?

In Episode 11 of his podcast "In the Room with Peter Bergen," New America Vice President and ASU Professor of Practice Peter Bergen discusses the ongoing fentanyl epidemic:

In the past five years, overdose death rates have skyrocketed in the United States, with fentanyl - a synthetic, cheaply produced opioid - now a leading cause of death for 18-45 year-olds. How do the chemicals used to make fentanyl get from China to Mexico to the United States? Why would drug dealers sell a substance that’s killing off so many of their customers? What is the Biden administration doing to stop these deaths? And what can ordinary Americans do to keep their communities safe?
