Donald Trump wants to execute drug dealers as part of a new strategy to combat the devastating opioid addiction crisis which has left thousands dead.
Andrew Bremberg, director of Trump's Domestic Policy Council, told reporters: "The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty against drug traffickers when it's appropriate under current law."
Florida allows the death penalty for capital drug trafficking, while New Hampshire, where Trump will announce his new drug strategy alongside his wife Melania, permits it for murder committed in the course of drug crimes, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
