00:00Trump Surrenders New York City President Donald Trump recently said that he is delaying
00:05plans to deploy the National Guard to New York City, signaling that other U.S. cities
00:10are now a higher priority.
00:12Trump was speaking with reporters before departing for Joint Base Andrews when MSNOW correspondent
00:17Akayla Gardner asked him whether the National Guard deployment to New York was still under
00:22consideration.
00:23Trump responded, if they need it.
00:25Right now, other places need it more, but if they need it.
00:28He repeated that the option remains open but is no longer immediate.
00:32The president and New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani struck a tone that surprised observers.
00:39Trump had previously labeled the mayor, elect my little communist, and dismissed Mamdani's
00:43platform as unworkable.
00:45However, during their Oval Office meeting, Trump said he would feel very comfortable living
00:50in New York again after their discussion, describing the encounter as productive.
00:55While New York's deployment is paused, Charlotte, North Carolina, has become a new focus of
00:59federal enforcement.
01:01The operation sparked protests and widespread community reaction, including reports that
01:05thousands of students stayed home from school out of fear.
01:09While Trump said cities facing more serious public safety issues would be prioritized, he did
01:13not specify which locations may be next.
01:16Trump also emphasized that National Guard deployment to New York remains possible, depending on what
01:21he described as need.
