President-elect Donald Trump said on Nov. 27 that he intends to roll out a “large-scale” advertising campaign aimed at informing Americans of the dangers of fentanyl when he takes office in January.

“I will be working on a large scale United States advertising campaign, explaining how bad Fentanyl is for people to use—millions of lives being so needlessly destroyed,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
