National Guard arrives on streets of Washington DC despite 'historic' lows in crime
Wednesday, 13 August 2025 () National Guard troops have begun arriving on the streets of Washington DC in a controversial move by Donald Trump to "rescue our nation's capital from crime".
National Guard troops rolled into Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening as President Trump’s aggressive anti-crime initiative officially kicked off. Armored personnel carriers were spotted near the Washington Monument, with federal forces gathering at key sites across the city. The deployment follows...
President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide.

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City.
Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown.
Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains. He accused Trump of undermining democracy and urged him to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the plan. Critics warn Newsom’s retaliation could erode Democrats’ moral stance on fair redistricting.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the U.S. next month for the UNGA summit, with a possible meeting with Donald Trump to address strained trade relations. Ties have soured after Trump imposed a combined 50% tariff on Indian goods over market access disputes and Russian oil imports. India has rejected U.S. criticism, accusing Washington of double standards. If talks progress, Modi may invite Trump to India for the October Quad summit. Global tensions, including the Ukraine war, will also shape discussions.

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety.
