White House says U.S. fentanyl overdose programs will be funded 'in increments'
Greg Swan, whose son Drew died as a result of a fentanyl-related substance, looks on as President Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House. The president signed the HALT Fentanyl Act, which aims to permanently classify all fentanyl-related substances as schedule I controlled substances and aid law enforcement in prosecuting trafficking and manufacturing offenses.

CDC staffers worry $140 million in grants could fail to reach state and local overdose programs. The White House officials say the dollars will arrive but won't say when.
