US EditionProtesters Urge Utah Senators to Challenge Trump Administration on Venezuela
Trump seeks to reclassify marijuana citing medical benefits despite opposition from 22 Senate Republicans concerned about health and economic impacts.
- President Donald Trump is proposing to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Health and Human Services Secretary, backing the move and emphasizing medical benefits.
- Politico reporters Lauren Brensel and Amanda Friedman write that on the eve of the announcement, 22 Senate Republicans urged Trump not to proceed, while Speaker Mike Johnson lobbied him to hold off.
- Under federal rules, Schedule I drugs are highly dangerous with no known medical uses, while Schedule III drugs are less dangerous and include medical substances like steroids or Tylenol with codeine.

- The administration's broader drug posture includes escalating the War On Drugs by capturing Maduro and detaining him at MDC Brooklyn, while Utah protesters urged Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis to respond Monday.
