WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel are set to address the media on Wednesday afternoon.

A news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Citing an unnamed White House official, The Daily Signal reported that Trump and Patel will discuss the Trump administration’s progress since the launch of the president's ongoing fight against violent crime across major U.S. cities.

During the summer, he deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, as well as in Washington, D.C. Efforts to do the same in Chicago and Portland have sparked legal battles.

Trump recently said Baltimore is among one of the cities that's next on his list.

The White House recently claimed its strategy of deploying federal troops has been successful so far.

Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set to be played next year in suburban Boston, after suggesting that parts of the city had been “taken over” by unrest.

Foxborough, Massachusetts, home to the NFL's New England Patriots and about 30 miles from Boston, is set to stage matches as the U.S. cohosts the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. Trump was asked about Boston's mayor, Michelle Wu, a Democrat whom he called “intelligent” but "radical left.”

“We could take them away,” Trump said of the World Cup games. “I love the people of Boston and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good.”
