Trump just labeled fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction.” Here’s what that actually means.

Описание: President Donald Trump just signed an executive order labeling fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction.”

That phrase is usually reserved for nuclear, biological or chemical weapons — so what does it actually change in real life?

In this video, we break down:
-What Trump said in the Oval Office
-How “weapon of mass destruction” has been used in U.S. policy and politics for decades
-Why experts say it’s still not clear what this new label will mean for enforcement, sentencing or drug policy
-Reporting from Lucas County, Ohio, where overdose deaths and fentanyl trends show what the crisis looks like on the ground
-How first responders and public health teams describe their real goal: keeping people alive long enough to get help

Big questions we’re still watching:
-Does the “WMD” label give agencies new powers, or is it mostly rhetorical?
-Could this change the legal stakes for drug traffickers — and what about people struggling with addiction?
-What comes next as agencies write the rules that follow this order?
-We’ll update as more details come out about how the executive order is enforced and whether it leads to concrete policy changes or just a shift in language.
