WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday directed the Department of Health and Human Services to declare the opioid crisis a public health emergency, taking long-anticipated action to address a rapidly escalating epidemic of drug use.

But even as he vowed to alleviate the scourge of drug addiction and abuse that has swept the country — a priority that resonated strongly with the working-class voters who supported his presidential campaign — Mr. Trump fell short of fulfilling his promise in August to declare "a national emergency" on opioids

His directive does not on its own release any additional funds to deal with a drug crisis that claimed more than 59,000 lives in 2016, and the president did not request any, although his aides said he would soon do so.

"No part of our society — not young or old, rich or poor, urban or rural — has been spared this plague of drug addiction and this horrible, horrible situation that's taken place with opioids," Mr. Trump said during an elaborate and emotional ceremony in the East Room of the White House,

To combat the epidemic, the president said the government would produce "really tough, really big, really great advertising" aimed at persuading Americans not to start using opioids in the first place, seeming to hark back to the "Just Say No" antidrug campaign led by Nancy Reagan in the 1980s.

"This was an idea that I had, where if we can teach young people not to take drugs," Mr. Trump said, "it's really, really easy not to take them." He shared the story of his brother Fred, who he said had struggled with alcohol addiction throughout his life and implored Mr. Trump never to take a drink

The designation of a public health crisis, formally made by Eric D. Hargan, the acting health secretary, would allow for some grant money to be used to combat opioid abuse, permit the hiring of specialists to tackle the crisis

Rob Reiner on Trump: 'I don't think he can learn anything' - Duration: 3:03.

I was draft age during the Vietnam War, and as far as I was concerned, LBJ was the enemy.

I hated him, because I didn't agree with the war, and he could send me to my death.

It wasn't until I got older, and I matured, and I spent a ton of time in politics that

I really started to appreciate and understand what he was able to accomplish.

Had it not been for the Vietnam War, he would've been one of the, gone down as one of the great

presidents of all time.

Now, you can't take the Vietnam War away. It was there.

So it's like the tale of two presidencies.

I don't think he can learn anything, because he doesn't seem to want to learn.

To have the House and the Senate and the courts and the presidency, and not be able to move

your agenda forward is, it's like criminal.

Lyndon Johnson had to buck his own party to get the civil rights bill moved into law.

He did it.

He did what he needed to do to get things done, because more important than his presidency,

more important than his party, was the country, and doing something for the country.

I think many people in the country were lulled into a sense of complacency, that we felt

we were on a glide path.

I mean, you looked at Brown v. the Board of Education in '54, the Civil Rights Act in

'64, the Voting Rights Act in '65, Loving v. Virginia in '67.

And then we have the president of the United States, an African American, Barack Obama.

And so, there's a sense that we were on this kind of glide path.

And then along comes a guy who starts stoking this lie, this propaganda about delegitimizing

the president of the United States, saying he's not a real president because he wasn't

born here.

And all of a sudden, this undercurrent of racism starts bubbling up to the surface.

You know, the positive spin on Donald Trump is that he's unearthed all of this hatred

and bigotry, and it says to us we need to do a lot more work.

And I think we are moving towards that.

We are seeing the browning of America, and that's a good thing.

That's a good thing, because that means we'll become one.

But a lot of people are frightened of that, and they don't like that.

And that's one of the ways you can move an electorate.

You make them fearful of the other, and you exploit it.

And that's what happened in this last election.

Top Trump general swoops on North Korea border to STOP Kim Jong-un firing nukes - Duration: 4:35.

Top Trump general swoops on North Korea border to STOP Kim Jong-un firing nukes

Former US general James Mattis, secretary of defence, visited the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) today to demand Kim stands down from the brink of nuclear war.

In a rare and provocative move, Mattis, a retired US Marine Corps general, condemned the "threats posed" by Kim and his "oppressive regime".

North Korean provocations continue to threaten regional and world peace and despite unanimous condemnation by the United Nations Security Council they still proceed, Mattis said.

He accused the tyrant of depriving his citizens of "freedom", "welfare" and " human dignity" in the pursuit of nuclear weapons that could cause "catastrophe".

Standing beside his counterpart, South Korean defence minister Song Young-moo, he vowed to preside over the "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".

"We stand shoulder to shoulder with you and the Korean people in confronting the threats posed by the Kim Jong-un regime," he said as Young-moo watched on.

He noted the "stark difference" between North and South Korea, whose vibrant democracy and free society has allowed the country to thrive.

His highly unusual speech came after Pyongyang warned the world its threats to test a hydrogen bomb above ground should be taken "literally".

Speaking after Mattis, Young-moo described North Korea's missiles and nuclear bombs as "weapons that can't be used". If it does, it will face retaliation by the strong combined force of South Korea and the US, he said.

But striking a softer tone, Mattis said the Trump administration does not want conflict, saying: "Our goal is not war." Instead, Mattis said the aim is to carry out the "verifiable and irreversible" removal of nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula.

North Korea has repeatedly frustrated the Trump presidency by testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in defiance of international condemnation. Trump is due to make a highly anticipated visit to South Korea next month in a symbolic show of support.

The US President was also scheduled to tour the DMZ, but is now expected to abandon those plans, a White House official said this week.

Trump has previously threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea, whose sixth and largest nuclear test provoked fury across the globe.

But when asked about the trip at a press conference on Wednesday, Trump was coy, replying: "I'd rather not say, but you'll be surprised.".

Speaking to US and South Korea troops today, Mattis said the US is "doing everything" to find a diplomatic solution to the North Korea crisis.

However, he said "our diplomats have to be backed up by strong soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines". Meanwhile, the US has dispatched three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to the region ahead of Trump's visit on November 7.

Warships USS Nimitz, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald will take part in rare war drills planned to coincide with Trump's visit next month.

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.
