The U.S. President, Donald Trump has announced on Sunday that he will hold a White House news conference Monday to unveil a new plan aimed at “transforming” Washington, D.C.
In a post via his Truth Social handle on Sunday, Trump pledged to make the capital “safer and more beautiful than it ever was before,” outlining a strategy to immediately relocate homeless individuals and intensify crime control measures.
“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.”
Trump said that while homeless people would be offered alternative housing, those committing crimes would be jailed.
“The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
