Trump announces control over crime in Washington

• Trump announced the mobilization of the National Guard to combat crime
• 81% of Americans consider crime a serious problem in large cities
• The majority of the population does not support federal control over the police

President Donald Trump announced the mobilization of the National Guard to combat crime in Washington, which has become part of his overall campaign. According to polls, 81% of Americans consider crime a major problem in large cities. Trump stated that the situation in the capital is "a criminal emergency situation," and his administration has already begun arresting suspected criminals.

The National Guard, which was mobilized to ensure law and order, also engaged in cleaning up debris around the White House, which provoked mixed reactions among local residents. Some residents believe that the presence of troops has not improved the security situation, despite the lowered level of violence in Washington to a 30-year minimum.

Trump announced the creation of a "comprehensive crime law," although the details of this legislation have not yet been disclosed. According to him, this is something that states need to address. Meanwhile, polls indicate that the majority of Americans do not support the idea of federal control over local police departments.

The National Guard, which performs various tasks in the capital, including patrolling the streets, may also be sent to other states to support the fight against crime, although many people consider this decision excessive.
