From Reuters.

President Trump said the U.S. military might deploy to Chicago and is ready to go anywhere on short notice to crack down on crime. Trump said Chicago needs federal help, but did not announce a decision.

Trump has seized control of the police force in Washington, D.C., and is allowing National Guard troops to carry weapons while on patrol in the city. Chicago has long had high levels of gun violence, but crime — including homicide — has declined in the last year.
