The White House announced on Friday that President Trump will donate his second quarter salary of $100,000 to the Surgeon General’s office.
The donation is Trump’s third salary offering to the Department of Health and Human Services.
“The President recognizes the important mission of the Surgeon General to protect and improve the health of all Americans, including helping to tackle the opioid epidemic and raise awareness of the dangers of e-cigarette usage among teenagers and children,” a White House statement said.
The money is reportedly intended for use in an upcoming public health advisory, but the subject has not yet been revealed. Jerome Adams, the current U.S. Surgeon General, has strongly advocated for advances in treatments for opiate addiction and mental illnesses.
