ONDCP Releases Trump Administration’s Statement of Drug Policy Priorities

(The White House) Today, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is announcing the release of the Trump Administration’s Drug Policy Priorities, a comprehensive and coordinated blueprint to reduce the devastating impact of illicit drugs on American society. The Statement lays out the urgent, first-year steps that must be taken to address the scourge of illicit drug use that continues plaguing our nation and taking American lives. The implementation of these priorities will complement President Trump’s tireless efforts to stop Foreign Terrorist Organizations, cartels, and drug traffickers from harming Americans, and will help build a safer, healthier future for America.  

In the next year, the White House will work across the government to implement the following six priorities:

1. Reduce the Number of Overdose Fatalities, with a Focus on Fentanyl
2. Secure the Global Supply Chain Against Drug Trafficking
3. Stop the Flow of Drugs Across our Borders and into Our Communities
4. Prevent Drug Use Before It Starts
5. Provide Treatment That Leads to Long-Term Recovery
6. Innovate in Research and Data to Support Drug Control Strategies
