According to statements at CPAC, the Trump administration's border enforcement is slowing fentanyl inflows into the United States, with officials citing a 56-57 percent decrease in supply that is reducing cartel profits. Border czar Tom Homan said cartels are 'going broke' and 'know it's hard here,' adding that they are redirecting drug operations toward Europe and Asia. Sara Carter, director of the National Drug Control Policy, described the effort as holding China accountable in the supply chain of precursor chemicals and characterized adversarial drug pushing as a 'proxy war.' The provided source notes that opioid deaths began declining in mid-2023 under the prior administration and this downward trend is continuing, supported by a January study on supply disruptions and DEA lab data showing fentanyl pill lethality dropping from 76 percent to 29 percent and powder purity falling from 19.5 percent to 10.3 percent.
