US EditionFBI Director Kash Patel visited China to discuss fentanyl, law enforcement after U.S.-China summit: Reuters
Kash Patel's visit followed a US-China summit where leaders agreed on fentanyl enforcement; fentanyl is the leading cause of American overdose deaths, Trump said.
- FBI director Kash Patel visited Beijing last week to discuss fentanyl and law enforcement, arriving on Nov 7 and staying about a day, Reuters reported.
- At a recent US-China meeting, leaders hailed a consensus on fentanyl after last month's summit, with US President Donald Trump saying Xi Jinping, Chinese leader, would work `very hard to stop the flow`.
- Details of the agreement will be hashed out through a new bilateral working group, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, but it remained unclear whether Patel discussed that mechanism during his Beijing visit.
- Neither China's Ministry of Public Security, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor the US Embassy in Beijing immediately replied to Reuters after US President Donald Trump halved tariffs on Chinese goods to 10 per cent last month.
- The Xi-Trump deal also covered resumption of US soya bean purchases and a pause on rare earth export curbs, while Chinese officials defended their record and accused Washington of `blackmail`.
