US President Donald Trump Warns of ‘Invasion from Within’ Comparable to Foreign Enemy
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) issued a stark warning about an “invasion” taking place within the country, likening it to threats posed by foreign enemies. Speaking at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia before top US military officials, Trump highlighted the difficulty of identifying these domestic adversaries since “they don’t wear uniforms,” according to CNN.
“We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms,” Trump said.
Trump also suggested that some of America’s most dangerous cities be used for military training. Addressing Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, he emphasized the importance of focusing on inner cities, calling the situation “a big part of war now.”
“In our inner cities, which we’re going to be talking about because it’s a big part of war now. It’s a big part of war. I told Pete that we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military. Because we’re going into Chicago very soon,” the President said.
He identified San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles as “very unsafe places” and pledged that his administration would tackle these areas “one-by-one.”
“San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They’re very unsafe places. And we’re gonna straighten them out one-by-one. It this is gonna be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war, too. It’s a war from within,” Trump added.
Earlier, on September 21 (local time), President Trump highlighted the significant decrease in crime in Washington, DC. He said the city has become “totally different from last year,” pointing to the effect of the administration’s crime crackdown efforts.
Washington, DC has become “beautiful and safe,” Trump said, attributing the transformation to “good governance.”
In line with these statements, the US administration has been planning to deploy the National Guard to Chicago as part of President Trump’s broader anti-crime and immigration crackdown.
