Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid is hurting one of his major campaign promises: 
taking on #fentanyl and ending #overdose deaths from the drug in the U.S.
Reuters reports that a United Nations counternarcotics program that seeks to stop fentanyl chemicals from reaching Mexico’s drug cartels
has been held up by Trump’s aid freeze,
citing eight unnamed sources.
The effort gave the Mexican navy training and equipment to boost screening at Mexico’s busiest container port, the Port of Manzanillo.
Two more Mexican ports were supposed to be added to the initiative this month until funding was cut off

The decrease in #overdose deaths may be due to a more "aggressive approach" toward the treatment of #DrugConditions. It may also be linked to a decrease in the #fentanyl #supply. https://buff.ly/43q9xIf #GoodNews #PublicHealth #CDC
