Trump Floats Federal Takeover, NFL Stadium for D.C.

News summary

President Donald Trump has announced that his administration is considering a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., citing concerns over crime, city management, and the desire to secure a new NFL stadium for the capital. During a Cabinet meeting, Trump emphasized the federal government's authority to intervene and claimed that such action would make the city run flawlessly with reduced crime. He stated that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is in talks with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to test the plan, but no specific details or timeline have been released. Trump also framed the potential move as part of his broader opposition to socialist or communist influences in major cities. The proposal challenges D.C.'s home rule, established in 1973, under which residents elect their government, though Congress retains ultimate oversight. Mayor Bowser has not publicly responded, and the plan has reignited debate over federal and local control of the District.
