WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China has agreed on a plan to stop fentanyl precursors and to control seven chemical subsidiaries involved in their production, FBI Director Kash Patel announced at the White House on Wednesday.

Patel said the agreement resulted from his trip to Beijing last week, a visit that arose from U.S. President Donald Trump's recent summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.
