FBI Director Seeks India's Help to Combat Fentanyl Crisis
The United States is facing a major problem with a dangerous drug called fentanyl.
It's so strong that even a tiny amount can kill someone.
Dealers are secretly mixing it with other drugs, and people often don't know they're taking it.
This is causing a lot of accidental overdoses and deaths, especially for adults under 50.
