US President Donald Trump said he intends to establish a death penalty for murderers in the federal capital Washington, DC, during a government office meeting on Tuesday, 26. “If someone kills someone in the capital, let’s get the death penalty. I don’t know if people are ready for it, but we have no other choice,” he said.
Trump stated that other cities could choose whether or not to adopt the same measure, and the municipal administration itself is responsible.
Earlier, the Republican had already commented on federal intervention in Washington, stating that his action was necessary to control the crime in the region, which was once “at the worst level in history.” “They say I’m a dictator, but I’m not a dictator, just fight the crime,” he said.

Trump quoted the cities of Chicago and Baltimore as the “worst places” in the US and signaled that he could send troops to control the crime in these regions.
