President Donald Trump suggested that he’s contemplating sending National Guard troops to the city of Baltimore, Maryland, to fight what he described as a “crime disaster” in the city.

“If [Maryland Gov.] Wes Moore needs help, like [California Gov. Gavin Newsom] did in L.A., I will send in the ’troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
