Trump says he is classifying fentanyl as 'weapon of mass destruction'

"No bomb does what this is doing -- 200-300,000 people die every year, that we know of," Trump said at the signing of an executive order that placed the fentanyl in the same category as nuclear and chemical weapons. Trump has accompanied the strikes with a massive military buildup in the Caribbean that includes the world's largest aircraft carrier and a slew of other warships, while a string of U.S. military aircraft have flown along Venezuela's coast in recent weeks. The United States has sought to link the two issues, accusing Maduro of leading the alleged "Cartel of the Suns," which it declared a "narco-terrorist" organization last month, and offering a $50 million reward for information leading to his capture.
