On Monday, Trump will hold a press conference at the White House, which, according to a post on Truth Social, "will put an end to violent crimes" in the city, described in the post as "one of the most dangerous cities in the world" which "will soon become one of the safest".
Trump does not specify his plans, but on Friday, he ordered federal police to "protect innocent civilians" for seven days. Among other things, forces belonging to the US Immigration Authority ICE will patrol the streets, according to Politico.
"From tonight, there will be no safe places for criminals in DC", wrote White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a statement, which began with a statement that the capital "has been plagued by violent crimes for too long".
Trump has previously also threatened to deploy both military and national guard to do the police's job in Washington DC, in the style of his decision to call in the national guard in California after violent demonstrations in Los Angeles in June.
The President and the capital have rarely agreed, not least Trump has often complained about how dirty he thinks the city is. He has not received the love of the inhabitants either, according to CBS 90 percent voted for Kamala Harris in the presidential election last year.
In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump also threatened to take federal control of the city "and take care of it as it should be taken care of". A similar threat was made by him in February this year - but he does not have the law on his side, to take federal control requires that Congress repeals a law from 1973.
