Donald Trump to declare national emergency on drug abuse - Duration: 1:56.Donald Trump to declare national emergency on drug abuse
The United States is battling a surge in opioid-related deaths, including 33,000 lives lost in 2015, more than any year on record, according to federal data. "The opioid is a tremendous emergency," President Trump told Fox Business Network.
"Next week, Im going to (be) declaring an emergency, (a) national emergency on drugs." .
President Trump who has never smoked a cigarette, taken drugs or had an alcoholic drink, is expected to provide a preview of his plans for tackling drug demand and the opioid crisis in remarks on Thursday.
President Trump said in August that he would declare opioid abuse a national emergency. Opioids, primarily prescription painkillers, heroin and fentanyl – a drug 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine – are fuelling the drug overdoses.
The declaration by President Trump could help unlock more support and resources to address the drug overdose epidemic, such as additional funding and expanded access to various forms of treatment, and it gives the government more flexibility in waiving rules and restrictions to expedite action.

Trump accuses Putin of HELPING North Korea in shock rant - Duration: 2:21.Trump accuses Putin of HELPING North Korea in shock rant
The Donald hit out at former buddy Vladimir Putin during an interview where he said it would be easier to end Kim's regime if the US had a stronger relationship with Russia.
In an extraordinary move, Trump said Putin had in fact hindered efforts to stop WW3.
He said: "China is helping us and maybe Russia's going through the other way and hurting what we're getting." "I think we could have a good relationship. I think the North Korean situation would be easier settled.".
The Donald has ramped up the pressure on Pyongyang following a series of weapons tests over the summer. In the following months, Trump pressed China to rein in the North, which relies heavily on trade with its larger neighbour.
China has appeared to go along with the US big shot, drawing rare praise from the famously combative President.
But The Donald has now turned on Russia, once considered a friend, in recent months over what he sees as inaction over the crisis.
The revealing comments come just days before Trump embarks on a whirlwind tour of east Asia in a bid to drum up support for action to be taken against psycho Kim.
Trump has even refused to rule out visiting the Korean Peninsula's demilitarised zone when he visits the South. When asked if he would be making the trip, he said: "I'd rather not say, but you'll be surprised.".

Trump releases 2,800 JFK files, blocks others - Duration: 0:56.President Trump on Thursday ordered the release of more than 28-hundred files on the 1963
assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
But he blocked the release of the remaining 300 files after last-minute requests from
national security agencies to keep them hidden.
The redacted documents are undergoing a further six-month review, but they could stay hidden
after that.
White House officials did not provide major details of the contents of the records being
shared on the National Archives' website.
Experts say they do not expect the documents to reveal any bombshells.
For the ones that have not been released, officials said they contain sensitive information,
such as the identities of intelligence officials, law enforcement as well as other details that
may affect foreign policy.

World War 3: Trump needs to 'TIGHTEN THE NOOSE' around North Korea, says former official - Duration: 4:44.World War 3: Trump needs to 'TIGHTEN THE NOOSE' around North Korea, says former official
Leon Panetta, who also served as CIA director under the Obama administration, has called on Donald Trump to increase a military presence around North Korea in a bid to thwart the nuclear ambitions of Kim Jong-un.
He said: There's no easy military solution here. Any military solution involves a serious risk that hundreds of thousands of lives would be lost and perhaps a nuclear war would break out on the Korean peninsula and in the world.
So, I think the key right now is to lower the volume of rhetoric going back and forth and focus on tightening the noose around North Korea.
"Building up our military presence there; building up the security of South Korea, Japan and others; developing a strong missile shield that can protect us from any use of missiles and also tightening these sanctions. Mr Panetta, who also served as the White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, warned Trump about his planned visit to the Korean Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) during his tour of Asia next month.
He said: You know, this situation is tense enough and that tension doesn't need to be heightened." When pressed on why Trump should avoid a visit to the DMZ, a trip that has been made by past presidents, Mr Panetta claimed that the current global tension is to blame.
He stated: Well, past Presidents have done this, but you'll admit that most of them have done it when the tensions have not been as high as they are today.
So, I'm just asking the president to take your time, talk to the key people, get their advice before you decide to do it. The war of words between the isolationist kingdom and the US has been upped another gear with the former recently announcing plans for a huge nuclear test.
A senior diplomat from Pyongyang yesterday said warnings of a possible atmospheric nuclear test over the Pacific Ocean should be taken "literally".
The official told CNN the threat by the hermit state's despotic leader should not be taken lightly. Ri Yong Pil said the foreign ministry was aware of plans for a launch and urged Washington to prepare itself.
He said: "The foreign minister is very well aware of the intentions of our supreme leader, so I think you should take his words literally.".
Last month North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong Ho said Pyongyang was considering "the most powerful detonation" of a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean.
Mr Panetta's calls for an increased military presence in the hermit kingdom come as it was recently warned that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could wipe out 90 per cent of the US population.
A new congressional report stated that an EMP attack would decimate America by targeting a key pillar of infrastructure, technology.
Peter Vincent Pry, a nuclear strategist and formerly of the CIA, said: "The US can sustain a population of 320million people only because of modern technology.
"An EMP that blacks-out the electric grid for a year would decimate the critical infrastructure necessary to support such a large population." Mr Pry stated that up to 90 per cent of the US population could be wiped out thanks to starvation, disease and societal collapse.
