Trump pointed to the possible destruction of Los Angeles without the National Guard.

Against the background of mass protests in California, Los Angeles would have been wiped off the face of the earth without the introduction of the National Guard of the country. This was announced on June 9 by US President Donald Trump.

"We made a great decision by sending the National Guard to fight the riots in California. If we hadn't done this, Los Angeles would have been completely destroyed," Trump wrote on the Truth social network.

The American leader also added that the United States authorities will always do everything necessary to ensure the safety of the country's citizens.

Guided Chaos: Riots continue in Los Angeles

Large-scale rallies in the United States have already turned into a struggle between Republicans and Democrats.

Mass protests in California began after a police raid to identify illegal migrants, during which 45 people were detained. On June 8, US President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to be sent to the state to stop the riots, which was condemned by the governors of 22 states, who regarded it as an "abuse of power."
