Trump called Washington one of the most criminal cities in the world.

Washington is one of the most dangerous cities due to increased crime. This was announced on August 13 by US President Donald Trump.

"Washington, DC, has one of the highest crime rates in the world, more than many of the most violent countries," the president wrote on the Truth Social network.

The Head of State clarified that the number of violent crimes in the district has increased, and the murder rate has almost doubled in just ten years, and this is only according to official statistics.

It is reported that the state police are inactive and do not make arrests when committing crimes, and residents are afraid to take to the streets.

Trump noted that the District of Columbia has now been taken under control, and assured that the police and military will return security to the city soon.
