Political commentator Tucker Carlson is publicly disputing claims that Venezuela is a primary source of illegal drugs entering the United States, arguing that the substances fueling the country's overdose crisis originate elsewhere.
Carlson made the comments on his podcast, questioning the premise that narcotics flows into the United States are driven by the Venezuelan government or criminal groups in the country. He focused particularly on fentanyl, which U.S. officials say has played a central role in overdose deaths.
