Protests: Trump orders withdrawal of Washington National Guard

US President Donald Trump on Sunday ordered Washington's withdrawal from the National Guard, saying the situation is now under control after days of protests linked to the death of George Floyd.

"I just ordered our National Guard to start withdrawing from Washington DC now that everything is under control," he tweeted. "They will go home but can quickly return if necessary. Far fewer protesters than expected yesterday (Saturday) evening! ", he added.

I have just given an order for our National Guard to start the process of withdrawing from Washington, DC, now that everything is under perfect control. They will be going home, but can quickly return, if needed. Far fewer protesters showed up last night than anticipated!

Tens of thousands of Americans demonstrated peacefully on Saturday in many cities across the country. And the rally in the federal capital, under the windows of a White House surrounded by wire fences and transformed into an entrenched camp, did not give rise to any incident.

The National Guard is a reserve force in the United States military that can be mobilized in the event of natural disasters or riots. After several violent demonstrations and scenes of looting in several American cities, the American president had raised an outcry last Monday, by threatening to deploy the army to restore "the law and the order".

Attack on Joe Biden

But the President of the United States was not satisfied with announcing this withdrawal of troops, who were mainly there to demonstrate his "strength". He immediately resumed the thread of his campaign and his bombing of Joe Biden, his future Democratic opponent for the race for the White House.

"Not only will" Sleepy Joe Biden "cut the police budget, but it will cut our military spending! He has no choice, the Democrats are controlled by the radical left "he continued in a new tweet, implying that the ex-vice president of Barack Obama did not have the shoulders to don the costume of Commander-in-Chief so dear to the Americans.

Not only will Sleepy Joe Biden DEFUND THE POLICE, but he will DEFUND OUR MILITARY! He has no choice, the Dems are controlled by the Radical Left.

Until the next November elections, protests continue daily since the death on May 25 in Minneapolis (north) of George Floyd, a black man killed by a policeman who smothered him by pressing his knee on his neck for more than eight minutes. And this national movement could influence the election.
