President Trump: Chicago is a dangerous city and we will intervene soon

In a new development that sparked widespread political controversy, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a decision regarding a potential federal move in the city of Chicago could be issued within the next two days, amid rising discussions about violence and crime in the city run by Democrats.

Trump told reporters today, Monday, from Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, D.C.:

"Chicago is a very dangerous place, and we have a governor who does not care about crime. We can solve the Chicago issue very quickly, and we will announce the decision within the day or the next two days".

This statement comes days after Trump posted a screenshot on his account on the "Truth Social" platform, which included a provocative post in which he said:

"I love the smell of deportations in the morning... Chicago will soon know why the Department of Defense (the Pentagon) is called the Department of War".

These statements triggered angry reactions, most notably from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who did not hesitate to respond strongly, describing Trump as a "dictator", and affirming his rejection of any federal intervention that might be imposed on the state without coordination with its local authorities.

Trump had previously pledged to take decisive action to stop what he described as "security chaos" in Chicago, considering that the local government has failed to contain the rising wave of crime, statements that bring back to the forefront the political tensions between the federal administration and states led by Democrats, especially on issues of security and immigration.

The question remains: Will the American street witness a federal military intervention in Chicago?

Only the coming days will provide the answer, amid warnings that any uncoordinated step could exacerbate the already tense situation and open a new chapter of political confrontation in the country.
