Trump urges Senate to pass bill cracking down on fentanyl shipments…
“President Trump accused China of sending opioids to the United States by mail and urged the Senate to act without “delay” to pass legislation that would cut off the drugs.
“It is outrageous that Poisonous Synthetic Heroin Fentanyl comes pouring into the U.S. Postal System from China,” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday. “We can, and must, END THIS NOW! The Senate should pass the STOP ACT – and firmly STOP this poison from killing our children and destroying our country. No more delay!”
The House by a 353-52 vote passed the Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act in June that would prevent the shipment of such drugs to the US via the international mail system.
Days later it was introduced in the Senate by a group of bipartisan lawmakers, but a vote hasn’t been taken yet.”
