💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles amid protests, but has not invoked the Insurrection Act. He emphasized the need for "very strict law and order," stating that while there is violence, it does not yet constitute an insurrection. Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, claiming he warned Newsom to manage the situation or face military intervention. The president also mentioned monitoring protests in other cities and is prepared to send additional support if needed.
