EXCLUSIVE: Fentanyl deaths plunge 22% as Trump White House touts crackdown on deadly drug crisis

The White House announced a 22% plunge in fentanyl-linked deaths and a 14% fall in total drug overdose deaths over one year. The administration credits this decline to its border crackdown, counter-narcotics policies, and arrests of convicted fentanyl traffickers. These measures were highlighted as evidence that disruption upstream is reducing the amount of drugs reaching American communities.
