Dear friends,President Trump has again called for using the death penalty against low-level drug law violators. During a meeting with governors last week, he pressed them to pass state death penalty laws for drug selling. The president claimed, as he did during his first term, that countries with the death penalty for drug offenses have "no drug problem."

For example, Trump's second reported comment praising the Duterte drug war, was followed closely by extrajudicial drug war killings starting in Indonesia.
