This joint resolution authorizes the President to use the Armed Forces against foreign nations, foreign organizations, or foreign persons affiliated with foreign organizations that the President determines are involved in trafficking fentanyl or fentanyl-related substances into the United States. The joint resolution also authorizes the use of force against those determined to have used force or violence in specified ways, such as engaging in violence or intimidation to control territory to be used for illicit means.
