Trump launches ad campaign to combat fentanyl crisis in the US

Donald Trump has announced a new advertising campaign aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. He stated that the campaign will inform the public about the drug's severe impact, which has contributed to over 73,000 overdose deaths in 2022. In addition to the campaign, Trump plans to impose tariffs on China and Mexico to encourage action against fentanyl trafficking. He expressed concerns about the drug entering the U.S. from Mexico, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized her country's efforts to combat drug trafficking. Trump's comments followed a conversation with Sheinbaum, where he claimed she agreed to "stop migration." Sheinbaum clarified that Mexico aims to maintain cooperation rather than close borders. Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, is primarily produced in foreign labs and is a major cause of overdose deaths in the U.S.
