Prosecutor Trump signed an executive order this morning that could make certain psychedelic drugs more available for treating mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. MPR's Danielle Kurtz-Labin reports that the administration is framing the drugs as a way to deal with a national mental health crisis.
Trump said the order directs the FDA to ex but I throw a view of certain drugs like psilocybin and ibogaine. Speaking in the Oval Office, the president touted the drugs effectiveness in studies on military and veteran populations. Currently, psilocybin and ibogaine are listed as schedule 1 drugs, meaning they have no
accepted medical uses and a high potential for abuse. Trump said the order would ex but I throw rescheduling of those drugs if they are FDA approved.

"It's not even summer yet, but much of the U.S. is already facing drought conditions. That's according to recent weather data.

You're listening to NPR News." A new warning from the International Energy Agency this week says parts of Europe could face jet-fuel shortages this summer as NPR's Windsor Johnston reports that could have ripple effects for Americans planning trips overseas. The agency says parts of Europe could soon face short-term jet-fuel shortages as global supplies
remain strained. Local Weber is an energy expert at the University of Texas at Austin. He says even when shortages are less severe in the U.S., Americans can still feel the impact. "The United States will feel good because we're a major energy producer, but we'll absolutely be affected by what's going around the world because we're coupled to the international
economic system. So, it might mean our travel to Europe's more expensive, but also means that things we import for Europe are the places we'll be more expensive because the shipping fuel is being more expensive. So, we will be affected for sure."
Weber says travelers heading overseas may also see fewer flight options, especially during the peak summer season. Windsor Johnston and PR News.
