(XinhuaTing Shen) WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday declared the opioid crisis "a national public health emergency" in the United States and vowed to "build a wall" to confront the growing scourge.
"This epidemic is a national health emergency," Trump said curry 2 low white sale , noting the opioid crisis has affected more than 2 million Americans nationwide, and the number continues to rise.
More Americans are dying from drug overdoses today than from gun homicides and vehicle incidents alike, he lamented, "The United States is by far the largest consumers of this drug (opioids)".
"No state has been spared, and no demographic has been untouched." he continued in an address at the White House curry 2 shoes sale , accompanied by first lady Melania Trump.
"As Americans, we cannot allow this to continue...We can be the generation that ends the opioid epidemic." the president said.
The key to tackle the problem, Trump said, is for people not to get hooked on drugs in the first place. Part of that comes through education, and teaching people that they are propping up violence through participating in the drug market.
Meanwhile curry 1 mvp for sale , he promised his administration will spend "lots of money" to find non-addictive painkiller.
The president also said lawsuits lie ahead for "bad actors," which could mean drug companies, amid national fighting to curb the epidemic.
A final report will come in from the opioid commission next week, Trump said, on recommendations for dealing with the crisis which he called "national shame" and "human tragedy".
With Trump's declaration curry 1 mvp low sale , the U.S. federal government will waive some regulations, give states more flexibility in how they use federal funds and expand the use of telemedicine treatment, according to White House aids who briefed reporters on Thursday morning.
"Addressing it will require all of our effort, and it will require us to confront the crisis in all of its real complexity," said Trump curry 1 low white sale , who has long-promised to address the epidemic that claimed more than 64,000 American lives in 2016 alone.
However, a public health emergency is not the same as the national emergency Trump initially promised to announce in August, local analysts noted.
Unlike a national emergency, a public health emergency declared by the White House does not free up Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding. Instead under armour curry 1 sale , it has to rely on existing funding to be redirected under the Public Service Act.
Furthermore, the emergency will only last 90 days, though can be repeatedly renewed every 90 days by the White House.
The last time that a national public health emergency of this scope was declared in the United States was in 2009 in response to the H1N1 influenza virus.
Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of injury-related death in the country. Opioid use, which has skyrocketed in the United States since the turn of the century, is to blame for much of the increase.
SEOUL: Samsung Electronics on Thursday (July 31) reported a near 20 per cent decline in second quarter net profit under armour micro g torch shoes sale , due to increased competition from cheap Chinese devices in the key smartphone sector and a surging Korean won.
The South Korean electronics giant posted a net profit of 6.25 trillion won ($6.1 billion) -- its lowest figure for two years and down 19.6 per cent from the same quarter last year. Operating profit stood at 7.19 trillion won, down 24.6 per cent from a year ago, while sales tumbled 8.9 per cent to 52.35 trillion won.
"The second quarter was affected by several factors including the slow global sales of smartphones and tablets and escalating marketing expenditure to reduce inventory," the company said in its earnings report. "The appreciation of the Korean currency also chipped away at this quarter's operating profits, which amounted to about 500 billion won in missed revenues prompted by the foreign exchange market."
Samsung added that the second half of 2014 would "remain a challenge". The won is currently running at six-year highs against the dollar under armour phenom proto trainer sale , impacting South Korea's export-driven economy.
Thursday's figures were in line with earnings estimates released earlier this month, when Samsung also issued an explanatory note attributing the profit decline to increased competition from cheap Chinese devices.
Samsung had expressed cautious optimism about a more positive third quarter with the release of its new smartphone line-up, and a much lower marketing spend compared to the second quarter. However, the next quarter will also see the competition heat up with the expected launch of the iPhone 6 by chief high-end rival Apple.
Alarm bells have been sounding for a while over Samsung's reliance on smartphone sales in mature markets such as Europe and the United States, and emerging markets like China. The world's largest smartphone maker has a diverse product line ranging from memory chips to home appliances under armour speedform gemini sale , but more than half of its profits are generated by mobile devices.
April saw the global roll-out of the latest version of its flagship Galaxy series smartphone, the Galaxy S5, which came with a free premium software bundle valued at more than $500 as Samsung sought to pull in buyers tempted by cheaper models from Chinese rivals like Lenovo and Huawei. Initial sales of the S5 were positive, although critics said it offered little in the way of real innovation to set it apart from the iPhone and the Chinese phones.
