Responding to Trump, who called for logistics firms to 'SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl,' UPS and FedEx say they already fight illegal drug shipments
- United Parcel Service Inc and FedEx Corp on Friday said they already work closely with law enforcement to stop illegal shipments from entering the country, after U.S. President Donald Trump called on delivery firms to refuse packages of synthetic opioid fentanyl from China."I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl from China ," Trump said on Twitter.
Shares in UPS and FedEx were down 3.8 percent in a down market, while Amazon's stock was off 2.9 percent. Rival FedEx in a statement said it"already has extensive security measures in place to prevent the use of our networks for illegal purposes."Private delivery companies like UPS and FedEx electronically track packages. That has proven to be a deterrent for drug dealers, who instead have exploited the weakness in the USPS system.
