US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned he may send federal troops to Baltimore, intensifying his standoff with Maryland Governor Wes Mooreafter the Democrat invited him to join a “safety walk” in the city.
“If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum 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 on social media.
The comments represent the latest flashpoint in the president’s push to send National Guard troops into Democrat-run cities under the banner of a crime crackdown.
