The president said the murder rate in Washington is once again as high as in the Colombian capital. At the press conference, he presented various charts that demonstrated how public safety in the capital has deteriorated in recent years, compared to other major cities around the world.

He also mentioned that the situation in Washington was already intolerable under Joe Biden, but no one did anything. The president recently lost a close friend. His friend was just sitting in his car waiting for his wife when he was suddenly shot for nothing. He also mentioned that a few days ago a member of the agency responsible for the efficiency of government administration was beaten up on the street.

Standing next to the president at the press conference was Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The president declared a security emergency

He confirmed that there will be arrests, and that they will take tough action against those who should not be on the streets. He recalled that order was restored at the border in 3 months, and that not a single illegal refugee has entered the United States in the past 90 days.

Whoever is competent to perform a task should do it. And I do my job because I am truly competent

– Donald Trump stated firmly, then blurted out that order must be restored in Washington, as he is meeting with President Putin on Friday and does not want to be told what public safety is like in the USA. In response to the tough action, he said that he often hears that police officers are simply spat on and ignored. Well, from now on, it will not be like that, because

We could use the well-known MÁV slogan, of course Donald Trump said it exactly:"If you spit, we hit!"

It was announced at the press conference that the reinforced park police service will be strengthened and deployed to protect public areas, meaning they will be responsible for the security of public parks.

The Secretary of Defense confirmed that National Guard members will arrive in Washington in the coming weeks and will be continuously on the streets to strengthen public safety in the capital.
