    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 11463
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The President issued Executive Order 14228, amending a previous order (Executive Order 14195) to increase tariffs on products from China from 10% to 20%. This decision was made because the Chinese government has not taken adequate steps to address the inflow of synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, which poses a threat to U.S. national security and economy. The order underscores that it is consistent with applicable law and does not confer any new rights enforceable at law.

    Simple Explanation

    The President decided to make Chinese goods more expensive by doubling the extra cost (tariffs) on them because China isn't doing enough to help stop bad drugs from coming into the U.S.

    Reading Time:about 27 minutes

    The Department of Health and Human Services has announced changes to the drug testing panels used in Federal workplace testing programs. The revised panels now include fentanyl and its metabolite norfentanyl, reflecting changes in drug use patterns and safety concerns, particularly related to the opioid crisis. Although there was a proposal to remove MDMA and MDA from the tests due to their low detection rates, this has been postponed for further study. These updates aim to improve the accuracy and relevance of drug tests, balancing scientific evidence, and public input to maintain workplace safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Health and Human Services is updating the list of drugs that they check for when testing people who work for the government to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. They added a new drug called fentanyl to the list to help find people who use it because it can be very dangerous.
