The example of Chicago now shows how these two reasons for the US government are blurred for soldiers’ operations in Germany: If the defense minister’s order is mentioned, Trump only referred to crime again on Tuesday: “Chicago is a great city in which there is much crime, and if the governor cannot perform his task, we will take over it”, we will do it. he said in the White House.
Critics accuse Trump to organize a show and intimidate political opponents with the use of the national guard. They also warn of normalization of soldier inserts in Germany.
In the United States, the governors of a state usually have control over the National Guard – the US President can only take command in times of war or national emergencies. As part of the US armed forces, the National Guard can generally be used for natural disasters, unrest or emergencies inside.
