Trump Signs Executive Order at White House (June 29)

President Donald Trump suggested that he's contemplating sending National Guard troops to the city of Baltimore, Maryland, to fight what he described as a "crime disaster" in the city.

"If [Maryland Gov.] Wes Moore needs help, like [California Gov. Gavin Newsom] 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 in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115084149454997135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">post</a> on Truth Social.

In that post, Trump replied to comments that Moore made on CNN on Friday, saying the president needed to "walk the streets" of Maryland before making judgments about the situation. Trump criticized Moore's remarks in his post.

"I assume he is talking about out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore?" Trump wrote. "As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a 'walk.'"

Earlier this year, Trump also <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-additional-2000-national-guardsmen-to-la-as-riots-continue-5870379" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">deployed</a> National Guardsmen to Los Angeles amid protests and riots against immigration enforcement in the city. More recently, he's taken advantage of a provision in the Home Rule Act to <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-policing-takes-effect-in-washington-what-to-know-5900588" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">deploy</a> National Guardsmen to Washington and take control of local police as part of an anti-crime and beautification initiative.

Trump's comments indicate he's contemplating similar efforts in Maryland that could see National Guardsmen deployed to fight crime in the city, which is about 45 minutes northeast of Washington.

During a Sunday <a href="https://youtu.be/cP7g8ImRxF8?si=BJkJTKK0w4NpD6G3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">appearance</a> on "Face the Nation," Moore was asked about the president's post in real time.

He expressed strong opposition to the idea, saying that "this pace of operations" is not sustainable, citing a cost of roughly a million dollars per day.

Moore also said that such operations are "not scalable" to every major American city, "particularly when many of the cities that have the highest crime rates are the places that have ... deployed their National Guard in DC."

He said the move would also be unconstitutional, citing the 10th Amendment, which has long been understood to give states control of police powers, including powers related to the health, safety, welfare, and morals of their citizens.

"It's a direct violation of the 10th Amendment, and for a party that talks about state rights, it's amazing how we're having such a Big Government approach in the way they're conducting public safety," Moore said.
<h2>Trump May Rethink Bridge Funding</h2>
In his post, Trump also said he may rethink the decision to allow the federal government to foot the full bill for repairing the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, amid his feud with Moore.

"I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???" Trump wrote in the post.

Trump's predecessor, President Joe Biden, encouraged federal funding of the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/wes-moore-says-baltimore-bridge-repair-could-cost-up-to-1-9-billion-5669683" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">multi-billion-dollar</a> project to repair the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/major-us-port-paralyzed-after-baltimore-bridge-collapse-5615360?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=digitalsub" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">collapsed</a> on March 26, 2024, after a cargo liner that had lost power crashed into one of the supports for the bridge. Six workers were killed in the collapse.

“It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect ... Congress to support my effort,” Biden <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/03/26/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-collapse-of-the-francis-scott-key-bridge/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a> at the time.

In December 2024, Congress approved $2 billion in funding for the project as part of a stopgap spending bill, the final piece of government funding legislation the outgoing president signed.

Because the funding is congressionally approved, rescinding it may require authorization from the legislature under the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/what-to-know-about-trumps-battle-with-watchdog-agency-over-federal-spending-5860078" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Impoundment Control Act</a> of 1974, or through future government funding and appropriations bills.
