After President Donald Trump saying he was prepared to send the National Guard into Chicago and Baltimore to help fight crime, Trump is now saying he’s mulling doing something similar in New Orleans.

“So we're making a determination now, do we go to Chicago?” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that's become quite, you know, quite tough, quite bad.”

Trump was speaking alongside visiting Polish President Karol Nawrocki.

State and local officials, many of whom are top Democrats, have sharply opposed troop presence in Chicago and Baltimore. Landry, though, is a Republican.

The president added “you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks.”
