Trump Orders Review To Defund NYC, Other ‘Anarchist’ Cities (New York Post)

US

President Trump is ordering the federal government to begin the process of defunding New York City and three other cities where officials allowed "lawless" protests and cut police budgets amid rising violent crime, The Post can exclusively reveal. Trump on Wednesday signed a five-page memo ordering all federal agencies to send reports to the White House Office of Management and Budget that detail funds that can be redirected. New York City, Washington, DC, Seattle and Portland are initial targets as Trump makes "law and order" a centerpiece of his reelection campaign after months of unrest and violence following the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police.
