Donald Trump threatened to deploy National Guard troops on Sunday to yet another Democratic stronghold, the Maryland city of Baltimore, as the US president seeks to expand his crackdown on crime and immigration.

Trump clashes with Dems over National Guard plans

The Republican’s latest online rant about an “out of control, crime-ridden” city comes as Democratic state leaders — including Maryland Governor Wes Moore — line up to berate Mr Trump on a high-profile political stage.

Mr Trump this month deployed the National Guard to the streets of Washington, in a widely criticised show of force he said amounts to a federal takeover of US capital policing.

The National Guard began carrying weapons in Washington on Sunday, the military said. Previously, their weapons were available if needed but kept in the armoury.
