Don’t want other world leader PM Modi to see tents, graffiti, potholes in Washington, D.C.: Donald Trump | World News

U.S. President Donald Trump said he did not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other world leaders to visit him, see tents and graffiti near federal buildings in Washington, D.C. and ordered the cleanup of the U.S. capital.

“We are cleaning up the city. We are cleaning up this huge amount of capital, we will not commit crimes, we will put the graffiti down, we have already dropped the tents, we are working with the government.”

He said that so far, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has been cleaning the capital.

“We said there are grand tents across from the State Department. They have to come down. They fell them right away. So far, it’s great. We want to have a capital that can be a world discussion,” Trump said.

“When the Prime Minister of India, the President of France and all of these people…the Prime Minister of Britain, they all came to see me last week and a half.

“We will do this for this city and we will have the capital of crime-free. When people come here, they won’t be robbed, shot or raped. They will once again have the capital of crime-free, and it will be cleaner, better, safer than ever before, and it won’t take too long.”

Modi visited the White House on February 13 to hold a bilateral meeting with Trump, the fourth foreign leader to be chaired by Trump in just a few weeks in January.

Within less than a month after Trump’s second term in the White House began, he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Japanese Prime Minister Smith Ispibon and Jordanian King Abdullah II.

French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are among other foreign leaders Trump has chaired in his second term so far.
