As part of a larger initiative to address growing crime and safety concerns in the nation’s capital, President Donald Trump stated that he is thinking about federalizing the Washington, D.C., police force (WDNews).
Speaking to reporters, Trump cited recent violent instances, such as an assault on a young guy earlier this week, and called D.C.’s crime rate absurd.
According to Trump, “we are going to have a great, safe capital.” That covers things like cleanliness. We intend to make the city more attractive and beautiful.
According to the president, possible actions might involve deploying the National Guard as soon as possible and dealing with problems like littering, graffiti, and crumbling infrastructure.
Additionally, Trump stated that his administration is considering whether to urge Congress to repeal the D.C. Home Rule Act, which gives the city some degree of self-governance.
We must run D.C. He asserted that rather than being the worst-run location in the nation, this must be the best. There is no chance of you being robbed while you are out on the streets.
The conversation takes place in the midst of continuous discussions in the District of Columbia on how to strike a balance between local autonomy and federal oversight.
