CNN News: ?唐納德政府努力改善藥物濫用問題

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions says the government is committed to reducing the amount of prescription opioids that are in the U.S., reducing the number of addictions and reducing the number of overdose deaths that drugs can cause. The Trump administration says in 2016, an estimated 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, the highest number ever recorded, and that preliminary information suggests that 2017 was even worse. It says overdoses of opioids, which include prescription painkillers, heroin and synthetic drugs, made up the vast majority of drug deaths.

美國司法部長Jeff Sessions說，美國政府致力于減少美國的處方藥阿片類藥物。，減少成癮的數(shù)量，減少藥物造成的過量死亡人數(shù)。特朗普政府表示，在2016年，估計(jì)有6.4萬美國人死于藥物過量，這是有史以來最高的數(shù)字，而且初步信息顯示，2017年的情況更糟。報(bào)告說，過量的阿片類藥物，包括處方止痛藥、海洛因和合成藥物，構(gòu)成了絕大多數(shù)的藥物死亡。

Critics have said that through this January, the Trump administration hadn`t committed enough funding to make a noticeable difference in the opioid epidemic.

批評(píng)人士說，今年1月，特朗普政府沒有投入足夠的資金改善在阿片類藥物泛濫問題.

The White House says its $6 billion increase for the fight against opioids which President Donald Trump signed earlier this month was the most the government had ever committed to the cause.

白宮表示，本月早些時(shí)候唐納德·特朗普總統(tǒng)簽署的對抗阿片類鴉片類藥物的支出增加了60億美元，這是政府有史以來對這一目標(biāo)做出的最大努力。
