Around the weeks of August 2017, President Trump announced his plan to combat the mounting opioid crisis in America. Key components of his plan entail working with law enforcement and healthcare experts.
The opioid crisis moreover plays a critical role in the drug epidemic. For instance, opioids engendered 52,000 deaths in 2015. Unfortunately, that number spiked in 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, opioids are even impacting the youngest Americans. With every passing 25 minutes, a baby with an opioid addiction is born.
Considering the aforementioned statistics regarding drugs in the U.S., many Americans maintain that cutting off aid to countries who refuse to curtail the entry of drugs into this country is not a bad idea.
