WASHINGTON, Dec 16 — US President Donald Trump said yesterday he was classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, ramping up his administration’s campaign against drug cartels in Latin America.

“We’re formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction,” Trump said as he signed an executive order.
