D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser downplayed Trump’s recent remarks suggesting a possible federal takeover of the nation's capital, pointing to the city’s lack of statehood and the importance of maintaining a working relationship with the White House.
The District received some autonomy under the 1973 Home Rule Act, which gave residents the ability to elect their own local government, including a mayor and council. However, Congress retains significant oversight powers over the District.
“When a president has both houses of the Congress, limited home rule is just that,” Bowser told reporters on Wednesday.
“I think our approach to working with the president has been a good one to focus on our shared priorities, which we have,” she said.
Bowser noted that Trump has made threats of a federal takeover for years. When asked if she was concerned about his remarks, she told reporters, “These comments have been made for two years.”

President Donald Trump was pressed further about the pause in weapons to Ukraine ordered last week. Trump said on Tuesday that he's approved more defensive weapons to be sent to Kyiv and that he didn't know who halted the shipment.
"Yesterday, you said that you were not sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine. Have you since been able to figure that out?" a reporter asked him.
"Well, I haven't thought about it because we're looking at Ukraine right now and munitions. But I have -- no, I have not gotten into it," Trump responded.
"What does it say that such a big decision could be made inside your government without you knowing?" the reporter followed up.
"I would know if a decision was made. I will know," Trump said. "I'll be the first to know. In fact, most likely I'd give the order, but I haven't done that yet."
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he believed the U.S. was close to securing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
"I will tell you, we're getting very close to a deal," Trump said.
"We want to have a ceasefire. We want to have peace. We want to get the hostages back. And I think we're close to doing it," Trump added.
The comments come after Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a second time this week on Tuesday night, with the discussion focused almost exclusively on Gaza. In a public statement after the meeting, Netanyahu said Israel remained focused on efforts to release hostages but did not announce any breakthrough.
