Chip stocks fall with Nvidia after data center rev disappointment
Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that the U.S. military could potentially be deployed to Chicago as part of efforts to address crime in the city.
"We can go anywhere on less than 24 hours’ notice," Trump stated when questioned about whether the Pentagon was preparing for a possible deployment to Chicago.
While speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during the signing of executive orders aimed at preventing criminal suspects from being released on cashless bail, Trump suggested Chicago requires federal assistance but did not announce a final decision on military intervention.
"They need help. We may wait. We may or may not, we may just go in and do it, which is probably what we should do," Trump said.
The president has already taken control of the police force in Washington and has authorized National Guard troops to carry weapons while patrolling the city. Trump has also suggested he might expand U.S. military presence to other Democrat-controlled cities, including Baltimore and Chicago.
