Trump宣布Fentanyl是大规模毁灭性武器, 在争议中扩大军事回应。
Trump declares fentanyl a WMD, expanding military response amid controversy.
总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一项行政命令,将非法芬太尼及其前体化学品归类为大规模毁灭性武器,并将毒品危机重新定义为国家安全威胁。
President Donald Trump signed an executive order classifying illicit fentanyl and its precursor chemicals as weapons of mass destruction, redefining the drug crisis as a national security threat.
这一行动扩大了联邦权力,利用军事和情报工具打击贩运网络,特别是与外国对手有联系的网络,并支持对加勒比和太平洋地区可疑贩毒船只进行持续军事打击,造成80多人死亡。
The move expands federal authority to use military and intelligence tools against trafficking networks, particularly those linked to foreign adversaries, and supports ongoing military strikes on suspected drug vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific, which have resulted in over 80 deaths.
虽然政府声称这项行动打击致命的毒品流行病和扰乱犯罪网络,但专家们对分类意见大相径庭,指出芬太尼在美国从未被用作大规模毁灭性武器,大多数芬太尼是通过墨西哥陆路而不是海运走廊生产和走私的。
While the administration claims the action combats a deadly drug epidemic and disrupts criminal networks, experts widely dispute the classification, noting fentanyl has never been used as a WMD in the U.S. and that most fentanyl is produced and smuggled via land routes from Mexico, not maritime corridors.
批评者认为军事化的做法无效,可能产生反效果,缺乏事实和法律依据。
Critics argue the militarized approach is ineffective, potentially counterproductive, and lacks factual and legal foundation.
