President Donald Trump said he is prepared to deploy active-duty U.S. troops to Washington, D.C., if necessary, as part of an intensifying federal effort to curb violent crime in the nation’s capital. Trump added that Chicago will be the administration’s "next" target once the situation in Washington is stabilized, and that federal resources will subsequently be offered to New York City. The president, who has already sent National Guard personnel to the capital, did not specify a timeline or the number of regular troops that might be mobilized.
