Donald Trump declared that he will send National Guard troops to Memphis to address crime issues, in the context of his administration taking control of the police in Washington, D.C. Although the violent crime rate has decreased in many cities, Trump believes it is a central problem. The mayor of Memphis, Paul Young, stated that he did not request the intervention of the National Guard and that this is not the solution to reducing crime. Memphis is facing a high rate of violent crime and poverty.
