Natalie Kitroff

See you on Sunday.

I'm Natalie Kitroff, and as the Mexico City bureau chief for The New York Times, I started looking into the Sinaloa cartel and fentanyl production.

I was trying to understand why this drug was killing so many Americans.

And to do that, I knew that we had to get inside of this criminal organization.

It took us months and months of work and multiple trips to Sinaloa to actually get into this fentanyl lab.

There were a lot of risks involved in the reporting, but people got to have a real inside view into the organization that is making this drug.

And they saw the process with photos and videos and interviews.

This is the kind of work that we're able to do because of our subscribers.

In its escalating campaign against Venezuela, the Trump administration has gone from shooting down drug boats to now trying to seize multiple oil tankers in the Caribbean Sea.
