US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will strengthen the use of the death penalty. The document stipulates that the attorney general must "take all necessary and lawful measures" to ensure that states have sufficient supplies of lethal injection drugs, the Associated Press reported. to assist states in providing drugs to carry out such sentences. Trump was expected to bring back the federal death penalty, which was suspended in 2021, which due to a moratorium imposed by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland.
After recent decisions by President Joe Biden, who commuted 37 death sentences to life sentences, only three inmates remain on federal death row.
He also called for a review of court precedents that limit the ability of states and the federal government to impose the death penalty for enforcers," Trump's executive order said.
