Washington: US President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to quickly resolve what he called "the crime problem" in Chicago, hinting at sending troops into what he branded the "most dangerous city in the world."
"I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, referring to his deployment of National Guard reservists to the US capital beginning last month.
"Chicago is the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far," he said, adding that JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of the state of Illinois where Chicago is located, "needs help badly, he just doesn't know it yet."
Trump cited in his post the latest crime statistics from America's third-largest city: Some 54 people shot in Chicago over the holiday weekend, including eight deaths, with similar figures for the previous two weekends.
"Chicago will be safe again, and soon," he said.
