President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans for a large-scale advertising campaign in the United States to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. The initiative aims to highlight the devastating effects of the drug, which Trump described as causing 'millions of lives being so needlessly destroyed.' The campaign is part of a broader effort to address drug-related issues in the country. Additionally, Trump revealed that he had a productive conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, during which they discussed strategies to combat drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Sheinbaum reportedly agreed to take measures to curb migration through Mexico to the U.S. following discussions that included a 25% tariff threat from Trump.
