President Trump has called for an increased presence of National Guard troops and police in Washington, D.C., citing the need for tighter security measures in the nation's capital. In a press conference yesterday, Trump emphasized the importance of keeping D.C. safe in light of recent protests and civil unrest.
"I believe that adding more patrols will help maintain order and ensure the safety of all residents and visitors in D.C.," stated Trump.
Additionally, Trump announced a $2 billion plan to renovate various government buildings in Washington, D.C. The plan, which will be presented to Congress next week, includes updates to the White House, Capitol building, and various federal agencies.
"We need to invest in our nation's infrastructure, and that includes our government buildings in D.C.," said Trump. "These renovations will not only improve the functionality of these important structures but also enhance their security and overall appearance."
Congress is expected to review and vote on the proposed $2 billion renovation plan in the coming weeks, as Trump continues to push for increased security measures and updates in the nation's capital.
