Countering Captagon and Narcotics Post-Assad Act

This bill changes an existing federal law that requires a government-wide strategy to disrupt drug production and trafficking linked to the former Assad government in Syria. It updates the law's findings to focus on Captagon, methamphetamine, and amphetamine trafficking across the Middle East after the fall of the Assad government. The strategy would have to be unclassified and would cover drug networks in the Middle East generally. It would also have to assess trafficking patterns in the U.S. Central Command region, which countries receive or move large drug shipments, those countries' ability to stop the drugs, U.S. aid and training programs, and cooperation with international partners.
