Trump Declared Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction: President Donald Trump’s executive order classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction marks a sharp departure from decades of U.S. drug policy, analysts told Reuters, reframing the opioid crisis as a military threat rather than a public health issue.<br /><br />The move allows the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to support law enforcement using tools typically reserved for countering weapons proliferation. Analysts say the order could also be used to justify increased pressure on Venezuela, amid U.S. military build-ups in the Caribbean and Trump’s stated goal of reasserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere.<br /><br />#Trump #Fentanyl #fentanylcrisis #USPolitics
