In February 2025, the Trump Administration declared the flow of narcotics into the U.S. a national emergency, and therefore imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China (White House). U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regularly reports drug seizure data. Recent monthly totals include:
- April 2025: 58,725 pounds
- March 2025: 50,909 pounds
- February 2025: 42,583 pounds
Historical July data shows:
- July 2024: 39,962 pounds
- July 2023: 49,886 pounds
- July 2022: 53,891 pounds
Resolution Criteria:
This question will be resolved using U.S. Customs and Border Protection data on Drug Seizure Statistics. To see the weight of drugs seized in July 2025:
- Navigate to the CBP Enforcement Statistics page
- In the data selection options, under “Metrics” select "Drug Seizure Weight (lbs)". All other options should be “All”.
- Locate the "FY Drug Seizure Weight (lbs) by Month" table
- Find the figure reported for July 2025
NOTE: The table shows figures rounded to the hundreds. Hover over the number to see the actual number of pounds reported. This number must be equal to or greater than 50,000 lbs for the question to resolve “Yes”.
Resolution will be based on total weight across all drug types. The specific type of drugs seized will not affect resolution.
