Next, let's take a look at the US protests that have been going on for ten days as of today (4th). With a voice protesting racial discrimination filled the United States, Defense Secretary rebels against President Trump, who is trying to suppress the protests even by mobilizing troops. We'll connect these to the Washington correspondent and check them out one by one.

Correspondent Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, the voice of trying to refrain from violent protests continued to come out of the United States.

Yes, the atmosphere is changing dramatically over time.

On the tenth day of the protests, looting and arson were greatly reduced across the United States.

The conflict between protesters and the police is also increasing, and we are gradually looking for peace demonstrations.In Washington, yesterday, thousands of protesters lit their phones like candles and sang songs of peace and solidarity.

[We all need someone to lean on.] There have been

silent protests all around George Floyd's last prone.

In New York, tensions remain the same, with some protesters colliding with the police and arresting nearly 100 people.Amidst this, concerns have been raised over the late confirmation that a black man in his 30s was suffocated during a police arrest in Washington State in March.

And US Secretary of Defense Esper, who has been known as President Trump's closest, has publicly objected this time.

<Reporter>

Defense Secretary Esper has been classified as President Trump's loyalist.

However, I volunteered for a press conference and drew a line saying that it is not a situation to mobilize the military.[Esper/US Defense Secretary: This is only possible in very urgent and critical situations. We are not there yet. I don't agree to launch the Riot Act.] It

was openly opposed to President Trump's intention to suppress the protests even with the introduction of federal forces.

I think it can be said that the internal complaints of the US military against President Trump's policy are so great.

Former Defense Secretary Mattis, who served as the first Defense Secretary for the Trump administration, also deplored that an army vowed to defend and endorse the Constitution was ordered to violate the rights of citizens.

Then what did President Trump say when he heard the story of Secretary Esper?

<Reporter>

Instead of giving a direct reaction, President Trump seemed to step back.

In a media interview, it was said that putting troops into the city depends on the situation and not necessarily
.

But the White House spokesman also said that if necessary, President Trump would launch a riot law.
