Thanks to President Trump’s policies the life expectancy in the United States increased for the first time since 2014.

Senior Counselor Kellyanne Conway, ONDCP Director Jim Carroll, and Assistant Secretary of Public Health ADM Brett Giroir announced this wonderful news on Thursday.

Opioid deaths were down 13% in 2018 and that contributed to the overall national life expectancy.
