Trump seeks death penalty for drug dealers

He made this proposal during a speech in New Hampshire, a state badly affected by the opoide crisis.

Trump said his administration is trying to change the law to execute drug dealers, but that it will face severe political and judicial crises, reports “BBC”, report Periscope.

Opiooids are a drug class, including drugs that calm pain and heroin.

Some 2.4 million Americans are estimated to be drug addicts.

“If we don't take tougher measures against the donors, it's a waste of time for us,” said Trump.

This includes the death penalty. ”

Donald Trump has appealed to federal bodies for the death penalty at a time when drugs are always shrinking.

Congress seems unlikely to pass the death penalty law, but even if it does, cases that resulted almost certainly will conflict with legal battles for years, if not decades.

The last “must be the death penalty,” he said. “Right now maybe our country is not ready for this, but it is possible. ”

He has previously praised President Rodrigo Dutterte, whose war against drug dealers has led to extratrial murder.

Filipino police have claimed to have hanged more than 4, 100 drug dealers as part of the campaign.

But the human rights group has said that the number of murders is many times greater, and the International Criminal Court is investigating them./Periscopi/
