President Donald Trump's actions on drug abuse have spurred opposition from Republicans in Senate, especially those from states hit by the opioid crisis.
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump pledged to tackle prescription drug abuse and the flow of illegal drugs into the country. But his White House efforts are off to a rocky start so far.
Earlier this year, Trump appointed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to lead an opioid crisis task force. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, along with other administration officials including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, have embarked on a listening tour of areas ravaged by the opioid epidemic.
