Trump hails Madrid as one of the safest city in new crime comparison
The US president names the Spanish capital at the bottom of a list ranking murder rates around the world
US President Donald Trump has singled out Madrid as an example of urban safety, placing the Spanish capital at the very bottom of a global list comparing murder rates.Speaking on Monday from the Oval Office, Trump unveiled his latest crime reduction initiative, beginning with Washington, D.C., where the federal government will take control of the city’s police force. Reporters were handed a White House document titled Making DC Safe and Beautiful Again, which included a bar chart ranking homicide rates per 100,000 residents in selected cities.
At the top of the chart was Washington, D.C., with more than 25 murders per 100,000 people. This was followed by Bogotá, Mexico City, Islamabad and Lima. Further down the list appeared Ottawa, Paris, Havana, New Delhi and London. Madrid occupied the final position, recorded as having the lowest murder rate among the cities included.
The president linked his praise for Madrid to his broader pledge to restore safety in American cities. “We’re not going to let that happen. We’re not going to lose our cities over this,” he said. “We’re starting strong in DC and we’re going to clean it up very quickly, very quickly, but this will go further.”
He described the Washington plan as a campaign to “liberate” and “beautify” the US capital, warning that violent crime and undocumented immigration were threatening communities. Trump added that this would be “only the beginning” of a nationwide push to “take back control” of urban areas.
The new security drive is set to begin in the US capital immediately, but the president made clear he intends to expand it to other cities across the country. While Madrid’s inclusion in the chart comes as a compliment to its low level of violent crime, Trump’s focus remains firmly on tackling the challenges closer to home.
