Watch: "We're moving the encampments away", says Trump of relocating the homeless in DC US President Donald Trump has said homeless people must "move out" of Washington DC as he vowed to tackle crime in the city, but the mayor pushed back against the White House likening the American capital to Baghdad in Iraq. The Republican president has also trailed a news conference for Monday about his plan to make the city "safer and more beautiful than it ever was before".
Main Idea: President Donald Trump said homeless people in Washington DC should move out right away as he promised tougher action on crime and city conditions.
Key Points:
Federal sweeps and tougher arrests could push homeless people and some workers farther from services, while adding costs and fear for DC communities.
Some residents and small businesses may feel safer if crime drops and cleanup improves, though the effect is uncertain.
