President Donald Trump said he might expand his crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital to other major U.S. cities after he announced plans to send 800 National Guard troops into Washington, D.C.
Trump singled out New York City, Los Angeles Baltimore, Chicago and Oakland, California during a Monday, Aug. 11, news conference as potential future targets in what would be a drastic escalation of federal presence on the streets of American cities.
“We’re not going to lose our cities over this. This will go further. We’re starting very strongly with D.C., and we’re going to clean it up real quick,” Trump said.
