This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

Trump is too lazy to have studied history, but guys like Miller and Vance know.
The Nazis baited and persecuted the Jews throughout the ‘30s until finally a single individual struck back by killing a German diplomat. That was the excuse Nazis wanted and needed to launch Kristallnach.
