US President Joe Biden will seek Mexico’s help tackling illegal flows of migrants and drugs, particularly deadly opioids, during a visit beginning Sunday for a North American leaders’ summit. Another priority for Biden is stepping up joint efforts to fight the trafficking of fentanyl and other drugs behind an addiction crisis in the United States. On drug trafficking, Biden will seek Mexico’s assistance in stemming inflows of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin.
