Researchers say the supply of fentanyl reaching U.S.

communities dried up the last two years Biden was in office, while its potency also fell.

Keith Humphries at Stanford University is a co-lead author.

That's a big drop.

The study in science found drug deaths from fentanyl also fell by one-third during Biden's last year in office.

But Humphreys and other drug policy experts say Biden never told the American people about those gains.

Since taking office, President Trump has reframed the fentanyl issue, dismantling many of Biden's programs and focusing on an increasingly militarized drug war.
