How to win the
war on opioids The numbers around drug addiction
in the United States are staggering. In 2016 alone, an
estimated 20.1 million Americans—about 1 in 13 people aged 12
or older—had a substance use disorder.
For President Donald J.
Trump, addiction is more than just a policy issue. As a young
man, he witnessed the pain of addiction in his family. Now as
President, he is fighting back.
Today, the White House
will convene a major summit on opioids. A number of senior
Administration officials will join about 200 participants from
across the Nation, including Americans who have suffered from
opioid abuse or watched as a loved one struggled with such an
addiction.
“It is time to
liberate our communities from this scourge,” President Trump
says.
See
3 ways the entire Administration has mobilized to address this
crisis.
The big picture:
America’s resurgent economy Inside the Beltway,
people often forget that what matters most to ordinary
Americans is results. And recent news showing surging
small-business and consumer confidence, near record low
unemployment claims, and expectations of continued economic
momentum is good news for U.S. workers and their families.

After 8 years of a
presidential administration not taking economic growth
seriously enough, President Trump has committed to an agenda
that puts U.S. workers and businesses first.

Moving
forward with school safety President Trump hosted
a bipartisan group of Members of Congress at the White House
yesterday to discuss legislation to address the recent horrors
of mass shootings.
Lawmakers shared ideas
on a number of solutions, including improving Federal reporting
on background checks, reforming FBI tip-handling procedures,
increasing security at schools, and addressing emergency
preparedness. The President has hosted a number of such
listening sessions in the two weeks following the tragic school
shooting in Parkland, Florida.
“This is bipartisan,”
President Trump told the Members of Congress yesterday. “We’re
determined to turn our grief into action. I really believe
that. I think that the people at this table want it.”
