Trump wants to introduce the death penalty into Washington

Donald Trump wants to punish murderers more sharply. In addition, the US President considers himself a “very clever person”. All developments in the news blog.

US President Donald Trump has announced that the death penalty will be sought in the capital Washington in the future when a murder is committed there. It was a “very strong preventive measure,” said the Republican in the White House.

The death penalty in the United States is still permitted at the federal level, the military and in 27 states, but is not actually enforced everywhere. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, no one has been executed in Washington since 1957; In 1981 the city council abolished the death penalty. However, the federal government can decide to accuse suspects at the federal level.

The announcement is part of Trump’s intensified approach in the capital, in which he has further powers as president than in the states. About two weeks ago he activated the national guard and temporarily put the local police under federal supervision – but legal resistance is underway. Since then, national guard and federal authorities have been increasingly deployed, and underlying offenses should also be pursued consistently and as possible.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he has spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin about nuclear disarmament. Putin has signaled willingness to take the appropriate measures, Trump said to reporters in the White House. In his opinion, China is also open to disarmament.

“One of the things we strive with Russia and China is denuclearization – that is very important,” said Trump. It was a central topic of his conversation with Putin, but not the only one. “We cannot allow the spread of nuclear weapons. We have to stop them,” said Trump.

In the summer, the former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev accused the United States under Trump to drive the relationship between the two countries towards a war – and pointed out to the nuclear striking power of Russia. At that time, Trump described these statements as a “ultimate threat” and, according to his own information, arranged the relocation of two US atom submarines to “corresponding regions”.
