Trump Mulls Sending National Guard to Baltimore; Trump to Host South Korean President Lee Jae Myung | NTD Good Morning

President Donald Trump says he may send National Guard troops to Baltimore, calling the city a “crime disaster.” However, Maryland’s governor has urged him to walk its streets before sending in troops. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance defended the federal takeover of the District of Columbia’s police force, crediting it for a steep drop in crime. Trump is also pressing Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) to end the Senate’s ‘blue slip’ tradition, which is stalling his judicial nominees.

Trump is hosting South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Washington on Monday for their first summit. Talks are expected to center on trade and defense costs after Seoul agreed to boost its military contribution by more than eight percent. The leaders will also discuss nuclear issues, with South Korea's foreign minister saying the country may seek U.S. approval to reprocess or enrich its own nuclear material for industrial purposes.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran man at the center of a high-profile deportation case, reported to an ICE field office early on Monday with a number of supporters. He's expected to be interviewed by immigration authorities on Monday after being released from a Tennessee jail on Friday. His defense attorneys said the United States is seeking to deport Garcia to Uganda unless he accepts a plea deal that would facilitate his deportation to Costa Rica.
