The U.S. President directed the removal of tents, graffiti, and potholes in Washington, D.C., aiming to present a cleaner and safer capital for visiting dignitaries.

President Donald Trump revealed he initiated a citywide cleanup in Washington, D.C., ahead of recent visits by world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Trump stated he wanted to ensure foreign dignitaries did not see tents, graffiti, or broken infrastructure near federal buildings and along their routes.
The cleanup effort included collaboration with Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, whom Trump commended for her cooperation and effectiveness.
