‘Nothing is going to stop us’: Trump touts progress in opioid crisis fight
President promises to hold drugmakers accountable at drug abuse and heroin summit, despite skepticism from health researchers
Donald Trump touted progress in the fight against opioid abuse on Wednesday and promised to hold drugmakers accountable for their part in the crisis, speaking a day after his administration brought its first related criminal charges against a major drug distributor and company executives – and despite skepticism from many health researchers.
“We are holding big pharma accountable,” Trump said on Wednesday at the eighth annual prescription drug abuse and heroin summit, held in Atlanta this week.
