Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act

The Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act is a U.S. law that targets major drug traffickers and organizations abroad. It allows the U.S. government to identify and block the assets of these individuals and groups, making it harder for them to operate financially. It also restricts their access to the U.S. banking system and prohibits U.S. persons from doing business with them. The goal is to disrupt their ability to finance drug trafficking and to pressure them through sanctions, ultimately helping to combat international drug crimes and reduce violence linked to drug cartels.
