Presidential Determination on Major Drug Transit or Major Illicit Drug Producing Countries for Fiscal Year 2026

President Donald Trump issued a memorandum identifying major drug transit or illicit drug-producing countries for Fiscal Year 2026. The memorandum lists countries such as Afghanistan, Mexico, and Colombia, among others, based on geographic and economic factors that facilitate drug transit or production. It designates Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma, Colombia, and Venezuela as having failed to meet international counternarcotics obligations. This action underscores the administration's commitment to combating the national emergency caused by drug trafficking and opioid overdoses, which are a leading cause of death in the U.S. The President also highlights efforts to secure borders and enhance cooperation with neighboring countries to address these issues.
