WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on July 16 told a crowd at the White House, which included dozens of family members of fentanyl poisoning victims, that China will honor a deal he made with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during his first term and sentence people to death for fentanyl manufacturing and distribution.
The president made the remarks during a signing ceremony for the Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act, or the HALT Fentanyl Act.
