马里兰州民主党州长韦斯·摩尔(Wes Moore)回应特朗普向巴尔的摩派遣“部队”打击犯罪的提议，称总统正在采用“恐吓战术”。
摩尔上周邀请特朗普下个月与巴尔的摩当选官员和执法人员一起参加公共安全步行活动，但总统反而提议派遣部队“清理犯罪”。
“所以，我邀请总统来加入我们的原因是因为他似乎喜欢生活在这种幸福的无知中，这些比喻，这些1980年的恐吓战术中，”摩尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司的“面对国家”。
“因为当总统在椭圆形办公室花时间对我们进行抨击和攻击时，有一些人实际上在做工作，他们知道哪些支持实际上会继续降低犯罪。但美国总统对此置若罔闻，”摩尔继续说道。
巴尔的摩市长布兰登·斯科特表示，在打击犯罪方面，巴尔的摩需要更多的联邦支持，希望美国联邦调查局、DEA和ATF的代理人参与进来，但没有暗示任何关于军队的事情。当被问及马里兰州是否需要更多的联邦政府帮助维持治安时，摩尔说是的，特朗普需要停止削减联邦政府的拨款。
“哦，绝对是。我们需要总统停止削减资金，因为如果你看看总统的预算，它实际上削减了对暴力干预团体的资金。它削减了对美国联邦调查局和烟酒枪支管理局的拨款，而这些机构正在支持像巴尔的摩这样的地方管辖区，”摩尔说。
Maryland governor says Trump engaging in ‘scare tactics’
Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore responded to Trump’s offer to send “troops” to Baltimore to fight crime, saying the president was engaging in “scare tactics.”
Moore last week invited Trump to participate in a public safety walk with Baltimore elected officials and law enforcement next month, but the president instead offered to send troops to “clean up crime.”
“And so, the reason that I've asked the president to come and join us is because he seems to enjoy living in this blissful ignorance, these tropes, in these 1980 scare tactics,” Moore told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”.
“Because while the president is spending his time from the Oval Office making jabs and attacks at us, there are people actually on the ground doing the work who know what supports would actually work to continue to bring down crime. But it's falling on deaf ears of the President United States,” Moore continued.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has said that the city needs more federal support when it comes to crime, wanting agents from the FBI, DEA and ATF, but not suggesting anything about the military. Asked if Maryland needs more federal help in policing, Moore said yes and that Trump needs to stop cutting federal funding for it.
“Oh, absolutely. And we need the president to stop cutting funding, because if you look at the president's budget, it actually cuts funding towards violence intervention groups. It cuts funding towards the bureaus of the FBI and the ATF that are supporting local jurisdictions like Baltimore,” Moore said.
