Trump claims Washington's murder rate is higher than Bogotá or Mexico City
Ammon News - US President Donald Trump has stepped up his criticism of the security situation in Washington, DC, now claiming that the US capital has a homicide rate higher than some Latin American capitals such as Bogotá, Mexico City and Lima. During a press conference on Monday, Trump announced that he would place the Metropolitan Police Department 'under direct federal control' and deploy 800 National Guard troops in an effort to 'take back the city.' US military personnel walk outside the DC Armory after US President Donald Trump's announcement to deploy the National Guard and federalize the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, on August 12. 'The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia; Mexico City, or some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth. It's much higher,' Trump said. Trump said the move to 'liberate' Washington was part of a broader initiative to 'take back control' of cities he said were threatened by violence. 'All is double or triple, so you want to live in places like that? I don't think so,' the president said, referring to the fact that Washington surpasses Latin American cities like Brasilia, Panama City, and San José in homicide rates. CNN
