00:08Citing the U.S. media outlet The Washington Post, Reuters reported the news.

00:31The plan for troop deployment was not announced in advance.
00:42However, some alternatives are also being considered.
00:44This includes deploying at least a few thousand members of the National Guard to the third most
00:50populous city in the United States as soon as possible by next September.
00:56Last June, the Trump administration deployed 4,000 members of the California National Guard
01:01and 700 active Marine troops in Los Angeles.
01:05The decision was made despite protests from local leaders and demonstrations in the state.
01:10If approved, a similar situation could occur in Chicago.
01:15Following this, President Trump last weekend ordered the governors of three Republican-controlled
01:20states in a letter to send several hundred members of the National Guard to Washington, D.C.
01:26Since the plan is sensitive, two related officials, on the condition of anonymity, told The Washington
01:32Post that while the deployment of thousands of active Marine troops is being discussed,
01:38it may not be implemented immediately in Chicago.
01:41Trump has been seen taking a tougher stance on the administrations of cities controlled
01:46by Democrats for some time.
01:48In this context, the Republican politician mocked the mayor of Chicago, telling journalists
01:53on Friday,
01:55Chicago is a mess.
01:57He also said he would fix Chicago.
01:59Reuters contacted the White House for a reaction to the report published in The Washington Post.
02:04However, there was no immediate response.
02:06Illinois' Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker said in a statement that nothing has been learned
02:12from the federal government as to whether the state actually needs assistance.
02:16He also said that the state is not in an emergency situation that would require the deployment
02:21of the National Guard or the Army.
02:24He said that Trump is trying to create a crisis.
02:27Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson did not immediately respond.
02:30However, on Friday, he said he had deep concerns about any illegal action, such as the deployment
02:36of the National Guard.
02:37Thank you very much.
03:07Thank you very much.
