Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump says he doesn't want to go to war in American cities.
This comes after he posted an image of himself over the weekend,
sitting in front of a picture of the Chicago skyline with helicopters and flames behind him.
The post invoked the Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now.
Trump also said Chicago was about to find out why it's called the Department of War,
his alternate name for the Department of Defense.
Now Trump says his administration is not going to war,
but will clean up cities so there are no murders.
And he would not say when troops might go into the Illinois City.
We could solve Chicago very quickly,
but we're going to make a decision as to where we go over the next day or two.
Huge crowds of people turned out in Chicago over the weekend to protest Trump's plans to deploy federal troops to Chicago and boost immigration operations.
Illinois Governor J.B.
Pritzker said that his state would not be, quote, intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Jury selection begins today in Florida for the man charged with attempting to assassinate then candidate Donald Trump last year.
A Secret Service agent says he spotted Ryan Ruth holding a rifle and fired on him
while Trump was golfing at his West Palm Beach Club in September.
A witness says he saw Ruth running from what prosecutors call a sniper's nest in the tree line near Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach.
Ruth was arrested a short time later driving north on the interstate.
