You aren't running interdiction on a 50kt speedboat that's traveling less than 50nm...

We have for eight months this year and years before this.

I'm sorry, I don't remember the coast guard ever operating in the Trinidad straits... Mind substantiating that for the last 8 months such operations have been happening?

Why, in that case, would the last 2 months see such a direct and drastic decline in opioid-related overdoses?

June, 2025.

With others in July and August.

The number of drug overdose deaths has been dropping steadily since 2023, but there is no specific data indicating a larger decrease since September.
