White House targets harm reduction funding
The US health secretary will take ‘appropriate action’ to ensure that the discretionary grants issued by the country’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) do not fund programmes ‘that fail to achieve adequate outcomes’, according to a new executive order from president Donald Trump. These include ‘so-called “harm reduction” or “safe consumption” efforts that only facilitate illegal drug use and its attendant harm’, it states. (DDN Web, UK, 28.07.2025)
