President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he may send federal troops to Louisiana to combat crime, following its actions in Washington.

Trump, speaking to reporters at the start of a meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki, said his administration was determining now whether to send troops to Chicago or to “a place like New Orleans.”

“We’re going to be going to, maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We’ll straighten that out in about two weeks.”
