US President Trump turns out to have tried to put 10,000 federal troops to tackle protests against black deaths.
The US CNN and CBS broadcasts cited senior officials that President Trump wanted to immediately put 10,000 federal troops into Washington DC and other areas earlier this week, but Defense Secretary Esper and Chairman Milli were opposing it.
The Associated Press reported that Secretary of Defense Esper and Chairman Milli Hapchop objected to a more serious situation if they mobilize 10,000 federal troops to protest.
In addition, he feared that in such cases, the issue of civil law should be resolved as a military issue, and the violent elements of the protesters were said to be extremely small.
The White House did not confirm the report of '10,000 mobilizations of the Federal Forces'.
Meanwhile, the White House issued a statement saying it supported Mr. Esper the day before, but President Trump is still angry with Defense Secretary Esper and may have fired him, CNN quoted another official.
Earlier, Esper was openly rebelled against President Trump, who called for a briefing on the 3rd and would use the military to suppress the protests.
