U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited plan to combat the nation's opioid addiction crisis on Monday, Voice of America reported.
In a speech at an event in Manchester, N.H., Trump vowed to help create “a generation of drug-free children” saying, “together, we will end the scourge of drug addiction in America once and for all.”
Trump said in order to win, it is important to “get tough” with drug dealers.
“If we don't get tough on the drug dealers, we are wasting our time. And that toughness includes the death penalty," he said, to which the audience responded with applause.
Trump lamented that under the current law, a dealer could sell a drug that could kill thousands during their lifetime but only receive a short prison sentence.
“This is about winning a very, very tough problem. If we don’t get very tough on these dealers, it’s not going happen,” Trump warned.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned that the president's proposals need funding or they will end up being "more broken promises from the Trump administration."
