President Donald Trump said on 25 August that he is weighing the deployment of the National Guard to U.S. cities with elevated violent-crime rates, asserting that “just about every” one of the 25 worst-affected municipalities is run by Democrats. Asked whether Republican-led jurisdictions with similar problems could also receive federal troops, Trump replied, “Sure, but there aren’t that many of them.” The remarks renew debate over the administration’s readiness to use federal forces in local law-enforcement roles, an area traditionally overseen by state and municipal governments.
