On Sunday night, US President Donald Trump called on state governors to confront violence. He said in tweets: "Be strict with the anarchists, and call the National Guard now." He stressed the imposition of law and order in Philadelphia now ». "They are looting stores, and the National Guard should be called in," he said.
Trump commented on the riot: Is this what voters want from "Sleepy Joe"?, referring to the potential Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden.
Earlier, Trump requested the deployment of the National Guard in the rest of the American cities to confront the protests, accusing the media of spreading hatred and chaos.
He accused the “Antifa” group of leading the protests that took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, stressing that he would classify this movement as a “terrorist organization.”
It is noteworthy that the “Antifa” group is a movement described as “leftist” and aims to combat fascism, which began in Europe and moved to America with the emergence of the movement known as “white supremacy.”
On Sunday, tense protests escalated, and protests erupted in at least 30 cities over the killing of George Floyd, an African American, by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
