<Anchor> In the



United States, with three days left for Biden-elect, Trump supporters announced another armed protest today (18th).

Washington, where the entire city was sealed off, is now subject to martial law.

Let’s connect to the local area and hear more news.



Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, a truck behind you is blocking the road. How serious is the blockade in Washington?



<Reporter>



I am standing on the Washington DC After Street that leads to the Capitol.



As you can see, the large dump trucks completely blocked the roadway, and the iron fence that was higher than the adult height was completely strung so that no one could pass.



If you look behind me, you can see the Treasury building right next to the White House, and there is also a heavy iron fence in front of it.



Our coverage team took the subway to the outskirts of Washington and walked to this place, but we had to go through several checkpoints on our way.



Even outside Washington, you can easily find soldiers fully armed with rifles.



The road was blocked by military trucks.



Roads accessing the city are blocked by iron fences, and only authorized vehicles can enter and exit the door.



The discomfort of the citizens of Washington DC is not as easy as that. 



[Citizens of Lydia/Washington DC: It's terrible and embarrassing to see this happening in a democratic country.

Congressional riots should never happen again.]



Routes accessible to the Parliament House must be cleared through security screening at the airport control level.



Identification is also required.



Far-right armed groups that support Trump have also predicted massive armed protests today.



In preparation for this, as the state defense force of 25,000 people in Washington DC is in place, and the state is in compliance with martial law, a state of immediate tension continues.



Although the rehearsal for the inauguration ceremony was postponed for a day due to subsequent warnings of terrorism, Biden said he would hold the inauguration ceremony outdoors as scheduled.

We've been briefed for relevant information.]

The situation in Washington seems to be quite serious, but there is a possibility of terrorism in other regions? 



<Reporter> The



possibility of terrorism was raised not only here in Washington DC, but also across the United States.



In particular, warnings have been raised that the state legislature building could be a target of terror by far-right militants, so the state is preparing for the situation by deploying both the police and the state defense force in the government building.
