1600 Daily:
What’s
troubling New Hampshire
New Hampshire has had the
second highest rate of opioid-involved overdose deaths in the
Nation since 2014. A poll conducted last year found that drugs
were the biggest problem facing the Granite State—the first
time in the poll’s history that a majority named any
single issue as the most important.
Today, President Donald
J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump travel to Manchester, New
Hampshire. The President will address America’s opioid
epidemic at Manchester Community College and discuss his
Administration’s initiative to stop opioid abuse and reduce
drug supply and demand, which has four components:
1. Address the
driving forces of the opioid crisis, including
over-prescription, illicit drug supplies, and insufficient
access to evidence-based treatment.
2. Reduce demand
and over-prescription in part by educating Americans
about the dangers of opioid and other drug use.
3. Cut off the
supply of illicit drugs by cracking down on
international and domestic supply chains that devastate
American communities.
4. Help those
struggling with addiction through evidence-based
treatment and recovery support services.
Watch
live as the President addresses the opioid crisis at 2:40 p.m.
ET today.

New frontiers
Last week, President Trump took time during a
cross-country trip to the U.S.-Mexico border to address
military service members at the Marine Corps Air Station
Miramar in San Diego, California.
The President touched on
many themes, including thanking our hardworking military men
and women for their service and dedication to the cause. He
also charted a path forward, echoing themes from his National
Space Council—a group chaired by Vice President Mike Pence
that the President resurrected after a 24-year hiatus.
“From the very
beginning, many of our astronauts have been soldiers, sailors,
airmen, Coast Guardsmen and Marines,” the President said.
“We're going to lead the way in space.”

Infrastructure:
The Federal role
The Federal Government provides
important infrastructure funding, but it often does so
inefficiently and with numerous restrictions. Washington
depends on taxpayers at the state and local level, yet Federal
funding is too often directed by priorities of those inside the
Beltway.
President Trump proposes
to fix this problem by maintaining the traditional balance of
Federal and non-Federal funding, while investing in a way that
stretches every dollar and delivers on local needs. His
proposal will keep existing Federal funding in place, including
for the Highway Trust Fund.
The President’s plan
would improve on existing policy by directing half of Federal
funds to an Incentives Program for State and local applicants.
This system keeps infrastructure decisions out of the D.C.
bureaucracy and in State and local hands.
