Trump says he’ll send National Guard to Memphis in crime crackdown | LiveNOW from FOX
President Donald Trump says he’s sending the National Guard to Memphis to fight crime.
Trump made the comments Friday morning in an interview on “Fox and Friends,“ adding to the list of cities he says are “deeply troubled“ and in need of fixing.
Trump said he decided to send troops into Memphis after Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena urged him earlier this week to address crime in the city. Vena used to regularly visit the city when he served on the board of FedEx.
Vena was in the Oval Office to pitch the benefits of Union Pacific’s proposed $85 billion acquisition of Norfolk Southern, but Trump said he asked Vena’s advice about where the administration should go next to “straighten out crime in the cities.“
He said Vena told him Memphis would be good because FedEx wouldn’t even let him walk one block in the city to his hotel and insisted he take an armored vehicle.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee confirmed the deployment is happening and said he supports the move.
“I’m grateful for the President’s unwavering support and commitment to providing every resource necessary to serve Memphians,“ Lee said in a statement. “Memphis remains on a path to greatness, and we are not going to let anything hold them back.“
In the interview Friday morning, Trump said he had support from both the governor and the mayor of Memphis, but Memphis Mayor Paul Young disputed those claims.
