Washington, Aug 11: The US military is preparing for the possible activation of hundreds of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, according to two senior officials who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The officials said the final decision rests with US President Donald Trump, but troops are on standby to deploy if required.
While their exact role has not been determined, one official noted they could be tasked with supporting federal agents, providing protection, or taking on administrative duties to free up law enforcement for field operations.
