US war on drugs protectionists
Crisis lurking within US; once this looked just like a random medicine bottle for prescription medication but for many in the United States now it is reminiscent of addiction and overdose.
Just in 2015, 33,000 people died of overdoses from prescription drugs such as OxyContin. But that’s not all about the opioid crisis that has gripped the country, as heroine is also wreaking havoc, with overdoses reaching epidemic levels. The Trump administration is, meanwhile, announcing a new war on drugs, a war many believe is already doomed to fail.
In this episode, we take a look at the crisis lurking within the country. Speaking of crises, President Trump had promised to tackle unemployment. He is now supposed to bring jobs back to America by adopting a “Buy American, Hire American” policy. As a result, the largest economy on the planet appears to be rushing to a protectionist stance: another bad news particularly for US trade partners, which we will cover in the second part of the show.
