US names India, China and Pakistan in FY2027 major drug transit list

Save
The United States has included India, China and Pakistan in its FY2027 list of major drug transit or illicit drug-producing countries. Being listed does not by itself imply a failure to curb trafficking, since geography, trade and economic factors are considered. The US acknowledged India's action against illicit opium cultivation, tighter supply-chain controls and cooperation under the U.S.-India Drug Policy Framework. China was flagged as a key source of precursor chemicals for fentanyl, methamphetamine and other synthetic drugs, while Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma (Myanmar) and Colombia were said to have "failed demonstrably" on counternarcotics obligations.
