Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: His administration “cut” the flow of illegal drugs entering the United States “by water, by ocean and sea” by 97%.
Rating: NO EVIDENCE
Explanation: Federal drug seizure statistics do not measure the total flow of illegal drugs because they cannot account for drugs that enter the country undetected. The 97% figure relies on a selective comparison of seizure data and does not establish a comparable reduction in overall drug trafficking.
