Trump Signs Crime Orders, Calls Washington Safest City in U.S.

President Donald Trump signed a set of executive orders aimed at further reducing violent crime in Washington, D.C., asserting during the signing ceremony that the nation’s capital has recently recorded “zero murders.” Citing the new measures, Trump said Washington, once considered among the country’s most dangerous cities, is now “probably the safest place in our country” and even “much safer than Seoul.” He did not release supporting crime statistics, but framed the orders as part of a broader federal push to curb violence in major urban centers.
