National Poison Prevention Week, 2025

President Donald Trump has proclaimed March 16-22, 2025, as National Poison Prevention Week, highlighting efforts to combat the rise of fentanyl-related overdoses and accidental poisonings. His administration is focusing on raising awareness, enhancing safety measures, and treating drug cartels as national security threats by designating them as foreign terrorist organizations. This action, alongside imposing tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, underscores a strong stance against the drug crisis, with potential legal and political implications in international relations and domestic drug policy enforcement.
