Trump withdraws National Guard from Chicago, LA and Portland, for now

The National Guard will be removed from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, for now, following efforts to reduce crime in those Democratic-run cities, but it was "only a question of time" when troops will return, President Donald Trump said Wednesday after a series of legal setbacks. 

"We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
