Washington: President Donald Trump has announced his intentions to transfer “distant” homeless people “distant” from the American capital, increasing their push for greater federal control over Washington DC.
The Republican leader announced his plans for the district and announced on his true social platform ahead of a scheduled press conference.
Trump said that homeless residents would be provided alternative housing, but it was emphasized that they would be located quite a distance from Washington.
He added measures to comprehensive claims about urban crime, despite the official figures declined by 26% in the beginning of 2025 despite showing violent crimes in the capital.
The President’s comment follows repeated threats to the local rule of Washington, which currently works with an elected municipal government under the inspection of the Congress.
Trump has previously criticized this system, proposed the White House Authority on the district management decisions.
Washington ranks 15th among the major American cities of the government homeless, of which the first number is below-mathematical levels.
Mayor Murial Boussar focuses on Trump’s crime story, keeping in mind the current crime rates, according to the records of the Department of Justice, represents three-opinion climb before his administration.
Trump’s latest intervention came after the immigration protests that California’s National Guard came after being deployed to Los Angeles, eliminating local objections.
The President has consistently advocated military partnership in urban rule, especially targeted by the Democrat -led municipalities.
Police data confirmed Washington’s violent crime decrease, aligning with national trends, opposing Trump’s claim to increase chaos.
The district’s shelters currently accommodate thousands of nights, although accurate transfer plans and deadline are unlike. – AFP
