Скачать или смотреть Trump To Send Federal Troops To 'Hellhole' Chicago | 10 News

U.S. President Donald Trump has said in a press conference on Tuesday that he will be sending National Guard troops to the "hellhole" cities of Chicago and Baltimore, despite state and local officials staunchly opposing it.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said Trump's repeated comments to call him for help are “unhinged,” alleging that the President's true intentions are not to fight crime, but to test his own power and "cover up his corruption".

Trump has said he plans similar moves in other cities in the name of combating crime, particularly those run by Democratic officials. More than 1,650 people have been arrested since the Trump administration first mobilised federal officials a month ago.
