President Donald Trump said his administration is preparing to declare the epidemic of opioid abuse a national emergency. On today’s show, we’ll look at how resources might be distributed toward combating the issue. Afterwards, we’ll look at fears in Britain over a free trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. Some say the influx of American food products will lead to lower food standards in the country.
