On December 15, 2025, in Washington, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:

Trump signed an executive order designating fentanyl as a "weapons of mass destruction." He signed the order on Monday in the Oval Office, accompanied by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, White House Border Czar Tom Homan, and other senior officers.

U.S. authorities are officially classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, and that is indeed the case. No bomb can achieve this effect now.
