Trump To Highlight Violent Crime Reduction

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to highlight his record on crime and safety during a visit to a New York police academy on Friday. The White House says he will release new FBI crime statistics showing a decrease in violent crime for 2025. Trump’s visit is aimed at boosting Republican candidates in closely contested races across his home state. But just how much his presence will help is in question as he faces lagging approval ratings and a deeply unpopular war in Iran with no end in sight. Trump will be joined by Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel in his visit to Nassau County.
