11.08.2025 โ‡ข Capital Police Under Federal Hand
โŒจUS media's editorial focus on August 11 centered overwhelmingly on President Trump's escalating interventions in Washington D.C. Early reports detailed his vows to address crime and homelessness, alongside discussions of potential FBI and National Guard deployments. A concurrent, though less prominent, narrative involved the US government's cut of AI chip sales to China. By early afternoon, the D.C. story intensified with Trump's announcement of placing the city's police under federal control and deploying the National Guard. This became the dominant development, widely reported across numerous outlets. Media coverage highlighted both the unprecedented nature of these actions and the ensuing reactions, including the D.C. mayor's opposition, critical examination of Trump's crime statistics, and the police union's support. International news also featured Israel's killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza and Australia's recognition of Palestinian statehood.
