The President of the United States has decided to continue the national emergency regarding the global illicit drug trade for another year. This decision stems from the ongoing threat posed by the trafficking of drugs like fentanyl, which is linked to a high number of deaths and non-fatal overdoses. Drug trafficking organizations continue to endanger national security and public safety. The continuation of the national emergency initiated by Executive Order 14059 in December 2021 will be in effect until December 2024.
Simple Explanation
The President has decided to keep fighting against people who sell dangerous drugs like fentanyl for another year because these drugs are still causing many people to get very sick or die.
