RECORDS
Trump declares U.S. opioid abuse an emergency
WASHINGTON (AP) —
In ringing and personal terms,
President Donald Trump on
Thursday pledged that “we
will overcome addiction in
America,” declaring opioid
abuse a national public health
emergency and announcing
new steps to combat what he
described as the worst drug
crisis in U.S. history.
Trump’s
declaration,
which will be effective for
90 days and can be renewed,
will allow the government to
redirect resources in various
ways and to expand access
to medical services in rural
areas. But it won’t bring new
dollars to fight a scourge that
kills nearly 100 people a day.
“As Americans we cannot
allow this to continue,”
Trump said in a speech at
the White House, where he
bemoaned an epidemic he
said had spared no segment
of society, affecting rural
areas and cities, rich and
poor and both the elderly and
newborns.
“It is time to liberate
our communities from this
scourge of drug addiction,” he
said. “We can be the genera-
tion that ends the opioid
epidemic.”
Deaths have surged from
opioids, which include some
prescribed painkillers, heroin
and synthetic drugs such as
fentanyl, often sold on the
nation’s streets.

President Donald Trump speaks during an event to
declare the opioid crisis a nationwide public health
emergency in the East Room of the White House,
Thursday, in Washington.
said they also would urge
Congress, during end-of-the
year budget negotiations,
to add new cash to a public
health emergency fund that
Congress hasn’t replenished
for years and contains just
$57,000.
But critics said Thursday’s
words weren’t enough.
“How can you say it’s an
emergency if we’re not going
to put a new nickel in it?” said
Dr. Joseph Parks, medical
director of the nonprofit
National Council for Behav-
ioral Health, which advocates
for addiction treatment
providers. “As far as moving
the money around,” he added,
“that’s like robbing Peter to
pay Paul.”
Democratic House leader
Nancy Pelosi said, “Show me
the money.”
Trump’s
audience
Thursday included parents
who have lost children to drug
overdoses, people who have
struggled with addiction, first
responders and lawmakers.
Trump also spoke person-
ally about his own family’s
experience with addiction:
His older brother, Fred Jr.,
died after struggling with
alcoholism. It’s the reason the
president does not drink.
Trump described his
brother as a “great guy, best
looking guy,” with a person-
ality “much better than mine.”
“But he had a problem, he
had a problem with alcohol,”
the president said. “I learned
because of Fred.”
Trump said he hoped
a
massive
advertising
campaign, which sounded
reminiscent of the 1980s “Just
Say No” campaign, might
have a similar impact.
“If we can teach young
people, and people generally,
not to start, it’s really, really
easy not to take ‘em,” he said.
It’s a path taken by previous
presidents, including Richard
Nixon, Ronald Reagan and
George H.W. Bush, all of
whom tried to rally the nation
to confront drug abuse but fell
short of solving the problem.
Some people have become
hooked on opioids after being
prescribed prescription pain
killers by doctors after inju-
ries or surgery.
As a presidential candi-
date, Trump had pledged to
make fighting addiction a
priority. Once in office, Trump
assembled a commission, led
by Gov. Chris Christie of New
Jersey, to study the problem.
The commission’s interim
report argued an emergency
declaration would free addi-
tional money and resources,
but some in Trump’s admin-
istration disagreed.
“What the president did
today was historic and it is
an extraordinary beginning
set of steps to dealing with
this problem,” Christie told
reporters at the White House
after the speech.
