According to the Independent, Donald Trump has unveiled a new strategy for dealing with the fentanyl crisis.
“I will be working on a large-scale United States Advertising Campaign explaining how bad fentanyl is for people to use —Millions of lives being so needlessly destroyed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday. “By the time the campaign is over, everyone will know how really bad the horror of this drug is.”
Trump did not provide further details about what the campaign would look like. On Monday, he vowed to impose tariffs on China and Mexico to get their governments to do more about the fentanyl crisis, which killed 73,838 people in the US in 2022, the year for which the most recent data is available.
Trump raised concerns about the drug entering the US through Mexico. The country’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo responded in a written statement: “Mexico has consistently expressed its willingness to help prevent the fentanyl epidemic in the United States from continuing.
Trump’s social media post came out around the time he announced he had a “productive” conversation with Sheinbaum.
