An emboldened President Donald Trump is increasingly using his bully pulpit to stamp his imprint on Washington, DC — pushing the bounds of executive power to reshape a city that once snubbed him.

The heads of Britain, Italy, Finland and France will join Ukraine's president who is under U.S. pressure to accept a quick deal to end Russia's war on terms that would be hugely difficult to accept.

"The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth," Trump said.

The showdown in Washington is the latest attempt by Trump to test the boundaries of his legal authority to carry out his tough-on-crime agenda, relying on obscure statutes and a supposed state of emergency to speed up the mass deportation of people in the United States illegally.

In a surprising sartorial showdown, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defied the Trump administration's demand for a suit and tie, opting for a military-inspired black jacket instead, symbolizing resistance amid ongoing conflict.

Trump said he and the Russian leader spoke last week about what they see as the problems with mail-in voting. Since then, Trump has pushed again for the U.S. to end the practice.

President Donald Trump took unprecedented steps toward federalizing Washington, D.C., saying it’s needed to fight crime even as city leaders pointed to data showing violence is down.
