Trump's Drug Boat Strikes: Fact vs. Fiction

President Trump claims military strikes on drug boats save hundreds of thousands of American lives from overdoses, stating each strike prevents 25,000 deaths. However, experts argue these numbers are exaggerated and not supported by data. The U.S. military has attacked 21 boats since September, which, using the Presidents figures, would mean 525,000 fatal overdoses have been prevented, far exceeding actual overdose deaths. Experts note theres no credible evidence linking a single strike to saving 25,000 lives, and the majority of overdose deaths are linked to drugs trafficked overland from Mexico.
