Republicans had called on Biden to raise the issue of fentanyl -- which is deadly in tiny doses and primarily is smuggled in across the Mexican land border -- amid rising seizures at the border and an increase in overdose deaths.  

Biden, in his remarks, said the U.S. is "accelerating our efforts to disrupt the trafficking of fentanyl and other drugs, that are literally killing, fentanyl kills people."
