The overall goal of the U.S. National Drug Control Strategy, which is prepared by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), is to reduce illicit drug use in the United States. One of the strategy's priorities is to disrupt the illicit drug marketplace. To this end, since fiscal year 2000, the United States has provided about $397 million to support Mexican counternarcotics efforts. According to the Department of State (State), much of the illicit drugs consumed in the United States flows through or is produced in Mexico. GAO examined (1) developments in Mexican drug production and trafficking since calendar year 2000 and (2) U.S. counternarcotics support for Mexico since fiscal year 2000. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1018/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1018.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1018/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1018.pdf GAO-07-1018 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1018 Other Written Product GAO-07-1018; Drug Control: U.S. Assistance Has Helped Mexican Counternarcotics Efforts, but Tons of Illicit Drugs Continue to Flow into the United States; Controlled substances Drug trafficking Extradition Foreign governments Interagency relations International cooperation Law enforcement Narcotics Search and seizure Strategic planning Imported drugs Mexico Title 22 Section 2291h(a) 22 U.S.C. 2291h(a) Public Law 104-208 H.
