President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the homeless should be transferred “away” from Washington, and days after thinking about federal control of the American capital, where the crime was falsely proposed.

The Republican billionaire announced a press conference on Monday, in which it will reveal its plans for Washington – which is run by the locally elected government in the province of Colombia under the supervision of Congress.

It is a long -standing arrangement that he publicly photographed. He threatened to give the federal character to the city and give the White House the last saying how to run it.

“I will make our capital safer and more beautiful than before,” the president posted on the social truth platform on Sunday.

“The homeless must go out, immediately. We will give you places to stay, but away from the capital,” adding that criminals in the city will be imprisoned quickly.

“Everything will happen very quickly,” he said.

Washington ranked 15th in the list of major American cities by the homeless population, according to government statistics last year.

While thousands of people spend every night in shelters or streets, the number decreases from prenatal levels.

Earlier this week, Trump also threatened to deploy the National Guard as part of a campaign, as he said it was a rise in Washington.

Violent crime in the capital decreased in the first half of 2025 by 26 percent compared to the previous year, the police statistics indicate.

The crime rates in the city in 2024 were already least in three decades, according to the numbers produced by the Ministry of Justice before Trump took office.

“We are not facing an increase in the crime,” said the mayor of Washington, Morel Bosser on Sunday.

While the mayor, a democratic, did not criticize Trump in her statements, she said, “Any comparison with a torn state in the war is excessive and wrong.”

Trump’s threat to send the National Guard comes weeks after the deployment of the California Military Reserve Force in Los Angeles to suppress the protests on immigration raids, despite the objections of local leaders and law enforcement.

The president has often hoped to use the army to control the cities of America, and many of them are under the control of democracy and hostility to its national puls.
