Trump administration proposes production quota cuts for six opioids
Reuters Staff
2 MIN READ
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Thursday proposed that U.S. drugmakers cut production quotas of the six most abused opioids by 10 percent next year to fight a nationwide addiction crisis.
In a statement, the U.S. Justice Department and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said the proposed cut would be in keeping with President Donald Trumps effort to cut opioid prescription fills by one-third within three years.
Trump on Thursday also pressed U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to sue drug manufacturers over the opioid crisis.
Id like to bring a federal lawsuit against those companies, Trump said during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House. He did not name the companies.
