On June 1, local time, US President Trump delivered a speech at the White House, saying that the peaceful protesters' voice of justice cannot be overwhelmed by "mob" and accused some state and local governments of failing to take action to protect residents. He said that in Washington, DC at 7pm local time, "thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel, and law enforcement officials" will strictly enforce a curfew.
Before Trump's speech, the police fired tear gas at protesters outside the White House. (CCTV reporter Wang Fengzhi)
