US President Donald Trump called on the mayor of Washington Muriel Bauzer to take measures against the “Campaign camps” in the city.
“We notified the mayor of Washington, the district of Colombia, that he should clean the unsightly camps of the homeless, especially around the building of the State Department and the White House.”
Trump, noted that if the Bauser cannot solve this problem, he and his administration will intervene in the situation.
The head of the White House emphasized that the capital of Washington should be “clean and safe”, and also expressed his concern about the current situation.
The growth of the number of camps for the homeless near government buildings in Washington in the district of Colombia, called the debate among local politicians.
In February, Trump criticized local authorities for the inability to fight crime and homelessness.
The President of the States said that the district of Colombia should go under the control of the federal government.
However, the mayor of Bauser said that its administration is taking effective steps to solve problems in the city.
“The president is aimed at making the capital of our country the most beautiful capital in the world. This is also a priority for us,” she said.
