Fentanyl was created in the US in the 1960, so isn't it more likely we create most of it?

Trump using Fentanyl as an excuse to raise tariffs on everyone after he said he wanted to use tariffs to get rid of taxes. But being we created it and W. Virgina has the highest rates of fentanyl deaths than anywhere else, isn’t it likely it’s made there?
Lots of mountains to hide. If you see a bunch of white guys with guns there no one will question anything. Its W.Virgina. Jobs are scarce, so bribes are easy.

Nearly all is manufactured in Mexico. Source, DEA:
Nearly all the methamphetamines sold in the United States today is manufactured in Mexico, and it is purer and more potent than in years past. The shift to Mexican-manufactured methamphetamine is evidenced by the dramatic decline in domestic clandestine lab seizures. In 2023, DEA’s El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) documented 60 domestic methamphetamine clandestine lab seizures, which is a stark comparison to 2004 when 23,700 clandestine methamphetamine labs were seized in the United States.

– non sequitur logic
No, it’s just very likely that WV has a lot of addicts. Demand is the most significant part of the drug trade. If Americans stopped using we wouldn’t have such a big problem. I realize some of the pushers are going after children and getting them addicted, which is reprehensible.
I use Fentanyl practically every day. :-)
I was given Fentanyl once. I probably would have refused it if I had been told before they had the syringe already in the IV line. It was great. Best pain drug I’ve had. I haven’t tried many.
Chickens were first domesticated in Southeast Asia circa 1500 BCE, so isn’t it more likely that most chickens still come from there?
Writing was first invented in ancient Mesopotamia circa 3200 BCE, so isn’t it more likely that most writing still comes from there?
This is just nonsense logic. Where something was invented and where it is manufactured don’t have to be the same, as @jca2 demonstrated in her answer. In fact, they’re not even likely to be the same these days. This might have been reasonable back when manufacturing wasn’t so distributed or when we didn’t have global trade networks. But today, there’s no reason to make this kind of assumption.
No. Many things created in 1960 here are not necessarily produced here today, especially as a market leader.
How old are you?
