President Trump criticized Maryland Governor Wes Moore's handling of Baltimore's crime, threatening to withhold federal funds for a new bridge. Moore invited Trump to visit Baltimore after Trump's criticism and deployment of the National Guard to D.C. to combat crime, despite crime rates declining in both cities. Trump claims Baltimore's crime is "out of control," while Moore cites decreases in homicides and shootings. Baltimore's mayor also opposes using the National Guard, preferring increased federal law enforcement resources. Trump's threats include reconsidering funding for the collapsed Key Bridge.
