Last week, Trump explained to place the maintenance of order in the federal capital under the control of his administration and deploy the National Guard.
The Democrat mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, refuted a blazing of violence, ensuring that it is “at its lowest level for 30 years”.
The American president had already deployed the National Guard as well as the Marines in Los Angeles during the massive demonstrations of June against the migration policy of his administration.
It was then the first deployment in this way against the will of a local governor since 1965.
