This will go further, we are starting with DC. We are going to clean it up very quickly.

We are getting rid of the slums, where they live.

The police are now allowed to do whatever the hell they want.

I am going to Russia on Friday. I am going to see Putin.

We will bring in the military if needed.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth:

This morning, we've mobilized the D.C. National Guard... You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi:

Let me be crystal clear: crime in D.C. is ending and ending today.

European leaders, worried Trump might strike a Ukraine deal with Putin that compromises European security, will meet him Wednesday before his planned US-Russia summit.

They aim to set “red lines,” including: a cease-fire as the first step, reciprocal territorial exchanges based on current front lines, and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.

They also want Trump to include Zelensky in talks with Putin.
