Your
1600 Daily:
‘We will
liberate our country’
Less than a month ago,
President Donald J. Trump laid out a bold vision for defeating
the opioid epidemic. In the weeks since, his Administration has
taken further action to combat the crisis on all fronts:
On
March 23, President Trump signed the omnibus funding bill,
providing about $4 billion for addiction
treatment and prevention, drug courts, and other tools to
combat the crisis.
Last
week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the results of
the first operation led by the new Joint Criminal
Opioid Darknet Enforcement (J-CODE) Team, which
resulted in 8 arrests and the seizure of drugs and weapons.
- The U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) conducted a 45-day
surge in February and March to investigate medical
professionals who were prescribing disproportionately high
numbers of opioids. The surge led to 28 arrests and 147
revoked medical registrations.
“Failure is not an
option. Addiction is not our future,” President Trump says.
“We will liberate our country from this crisis.”

Step 1 to better
infrastructure: Stop Washington infighting Investing
in a rebuild of America’s crumbling infrastructure is
important, but President Trump knows funding will only help if
we fix our country’s broken approval process. Inefficient
environmental reviews have led to unnecessary delays, depriving
our communities of needed projects.
Yesterday, President
Trump gathered Federal agency leaders to sign the One Federal
Decision Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), establishing a
quicker process for environmental reviews of major
infrastructure projects. Instead of expecting project sponsors
to navigate multiple decision-making layers, one lead agency
will be responsible for navigating each project through the
entire process.
Previous interagency
disputes sometimes remained unresolved for years. Americans
deserve better than this Byzantine system. With yesterday’s
MOU, President Trump is helping repair it.

President meets
with military leaders
Top U.S. defense and
military leaders met with President Trump last night, joining
the Commander in Chief for dinner and meeting beforehand to
review progress in protecting America’s interests at home and
abroad.
The President reiterated
his commitment to rebuilding our Nation’s Armed Forces,
including through the budget agreement he made with Congress
that invests more than $1.4 trillion in defense over the next
two years. This budget supports efforts to recover readiness,
grow the force, buy more modern equipment, and give our troops
a much deserved pay raise.
Yesterday, President
Trump also addressed this weekend’s chemical weapons attack
in Syria. “This is about humanity, we're talking about
humanity, and it can't be allowed to happen," the
President said. He reiterated that all options remain on the
table for a U.S. response.
