Trump Threatens Military Action in Floyd Protests

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy military personnel on American soil in order to quell the riots and demonstrations occurring all over America protesting the death of George Floyd.

“I’m dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property,” he said, according to . “If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary… then I’ll deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”

Trump also labelled anti-fascist civil organisation, Antifa, as terrorists and “professional anarchists” and threatened to send out troops “in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets”.

“I want the organisers of this terror to be on notice that you’ll face severe criminal penalties,” he added.

In response to Trump’s statements, presumptive Democratic nominee for this year’s presidential election, Joe Biden said that the president “[was] using the American military against the American people”.

The George Floyd protests have now entered their seventh day, leading many major cities to impose curfews in response to violent conduct.
