Newsom criticizes Trump for waging war on American cities
On September 27 local time, US President Trump announced that he would send the army to Portland, Oregon, to deal with "domestic terrorists." His remarks immediately drew opposition from the state's Democratic governor, Tina Kotek. She stated that the security situation in Portland was normal and that sending troops to the city was an abuse of power.
The New York Times in the United States pointed out that this is the latest move by Trump to deploy the US military to patrol the streets, following last month's deployment of troops to Washington to combat crime. Previously, he also sent troops to Los Angeles and had repeatedly threatened to send the National Guard into Chicago to combat crime, but he has not done so yet.
At around midnight on the 28th, California Governor Newsom strongly criticized Trump on social media, saying he was "waging war on American cities," and insisted on doing so despite knowing it was illegal. Newsom wrote, "This is not about holding so-called violent organizations accountable; it is intentionally inciting violence and chaos so that he can continue to consolidate power. Wake up, America."
