Президент США Дональд Трамп заявил о готовности направить войска в охваченный беспорядками Миннеаполис, если поступит соответствующий запрос от местных властей. Об этом сообщает пресс-служба Белого дома.

«Мы можем послать войска очень быстро», – отметил Трамп.

Ранее в штате Миннесота, а затем и в других штатах начались массовые беспорядки из-за убийства полицейским афроамериканца Джорджа Флойда в Миннеаполисе.
